About
We, the members of the Delta Chi fraternity, believing that great advantages are to be derived from a brotherhood of college and university men. Appreciating that close association may promote friendship, develop character, advance justice, and assist in the acquisition of a sound education, do ordain and establish this constitution.
What is Delta Chi?
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. In 1929, Delta Chi became the first fraternity to officially abolish hazing practices associated with “hell week.” Since its founding at Cornell, Delta Chi has grown to more than 120 chapters and colonies across the United States and Canada and has initiated more than 90,000 brothers. The success of Delta Chi has hinged on the continued recruitment of excellent young men and the support of experienced alumni from the local to international level.
We would like to welcome you to the Western Michigan Chapter of the Delta Chi Fraternity. Established in 1955, we have grown to become one of the top fraternities on the WMU campus. Here you will find information about our values, brothers, events, philanthropy and what we are about.
We sincerely hope this website will help answer any question you may have about us and also keep you informed and up-to-date with our chapter.
