Founding
On October 13, 1890 eleven law students
at Cornell University formed a Law Fraternity, Delta Chi. In 1922, the
Fraternity officially went "general", thus opening its membership to
men in all areas of study. Delta Chi, in 1929, became the first
fraternity to officially abolish the hazing practices associated with
"hell week".
Current Size
There are 126 chapters and colonies operating throughout the United
States and Canada. Distribution is fairly even across the continent.
Delta Chi has nearly 93,000 initiates.
Expansion
The
Fraternity boasts an 91% colonization success rate: 31 of 34 groups
started since 2001 remain active to date.
Colors
Red and Buff
Flower
White Carnation
Risk Management
Delta Chi is a member of FIPG.
Insurance
$175 per
man/per year if paid on time (2006-2007 School Year).
Little Sisters
Delta Chi specifically prohibits
chapters and colonies from taking part in any action that fosters,
organizes, or in any way encourages or allows the existence of any
undergraduate women's auxiliary group (i.e. little sisters).
