Alcohol. Parties. Girls. Fraternities, especially today, have been associated with many negative stereotypes. However, if you talk to any of the brothers of KSU’s chapter of Delta Chi Fraternity, you will quickly realize KSU fraternity life is much more than the typical boozing it up, hooking up and wearing extremely short shorts.
Nick Down, senior, political science major, and Delta Chi president said, “The Delta Chi Fraternity strives to take the University’s finest men and make them better through the ultimate fraternity experience and brotherhood.”
Delta Chi is a social fraternity that values friendship, character, education and justice. Their focus is to build strong, well-rounded, intelligent men by equipping them with the skills they need to succeed in all aspects of life.
Brothers of Delta Chi have gone on to be famous actors, Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Costner, Supreme Court Justices, US Senators, president of the United States, Benjamin Harrison, space shuttle commanders and more.
The KSU chapter has an extensive scholarship program to help brothers in the academic sector of their lives and hadthe highest GPA out of all Inter-Fraternity Council fraternities on campus in 2011.
When they are not busy with academics, you will find the men of Delta Chi cheering on KSU at sporting events, cleaning up their adopted portion of Frey Road or hanging out on the Campus Green sporting their giant, red Delta Chi tent. They also participate in intramurals, are active in organizations like Student Government Association and are passionate about their philanthropic work.
The KSU chapter of Delta Chi is ranked in the top 20 chapters of Delta Chi internationally and holds several philanthropic events eachyear. Their annual Miss Delta Chi beauty pageant raised more than $2,000 last year for their philanthropic partner, the Jimmy V Foundation, which focuses on cancer research.
Chase Duvall, senior, political science major, and Delta Chi Vice President said, “Delta Chi is more than just a brotherhood. It gives you the skills to be successful in your relationships, your academics and in your career. Most importantly, our fraternity is about serving our fellow citizens and building strong relationships within the community.”
Any man interested in joining the KSU chapter of Delta Chi should register for Formal IFC Recruitment, August 27th through 31st, or contact Kyle Black, Recruitment Chairman, at 678-447-8465.
