Civic & Social Organization - DeKalb, Illinois, United States
An international Greek letter college social fraternity formed on October 13, 1890, at Cornell University, initially as a professional fraternity for law students. On April 29, 1922, Delta Chi became a general membership social fraternity, eliminating the requirement for men to be studying law, and opening membership to all areas of study. On April 22, 1929 Delta Chi became the first international fraternity to abolish "hell week". Delta Chi is a charter member of the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC). The Fraternity is headquartered at 314 Church Street in Iowa City, Iowa 52244. As of Spring 2011, Delta Chi has initiated over 106,000 members.The Northern Illinois Chapter of Delta Chi was founded by 36 initial founding fathers in April 2010. The following year, the chapter was recognized by our national headquarters and received its charter in November 2011. We hope to continue to be a strong organization and always live by our four pillars; Friendship, Character, Justice, and Education.
