50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

The 50th anniversary of the Delta Chi Chapter will be celebrated April 20-23, 2028. We invite you to join us for this historic celebration, which will take place from Thursday through Sunday.

A room block and the banquet hall have already been reserved at the Holiday Inn on campus.

The current Executive Council is asking alumni to reconnect with their associate class members and help plan reunion activities. We can provide contact information for many of the brothers to assist with outreach.

If you would like to join the planning committee, we invite you to attend our Zoom meetings each semester leading up to the anniversary celebration. To get involved or learn more, contact Chapter Historian Owen Ohmes via email or by phone at (612) 237-6630.

HOUSING UPDATE

Over the past year, the chapter has celebrated several outstanding accomplishments, both collectively and individually.

Our house director, Ma Judy, was recognized as the runner-up for Housing Director of the Year, a testament to her unwavering dedication to the chapter and its members.

The chapter also earned runner-up honors for Excellence in Belonging and finished among the top 10 Pi Kappa Phi chapters in funds raised.

Finally, thanks to the hard work of Recruitment Chairman Jacob Muntzel and Vice Archon Nate Thompson, the chapter house will be at full capacity for the third consecutive year.

We are proud of these accomplishments and look forward to building on this momentum in the year ahead.

CHAPTER ACADEMIC UPDATE

The chapter made significant academic progress during the spring semester. Thanks to the hard work and leadership of Scholarship Chairman Andrew Westermann and his committee, the chapter's GPA increased by 0.24 points to 3.30. This achievement placed the chapter above the university average for men's organizations.

We are proud of this accomplishment and look forward to building on our success in the coming year.

SUPPORT THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND

As we prepare to celebrate the chapter's 50th anniversary, we're also investing in its future.

Alumni have been building a scholarship fund with the university to support future generations of Pi Kappa Phi brothers. If you would like to help us reach our goal of easing the financial burden for future Pi Kapps, scan the QR code above to make your gift.

Thank you for your generous support over the years. We hope you will continue investing in the future of our brotherhood through this important initiative.

If you have questions about the scholarship fund or the house fund, please contact Owen Ohmes via email or by phone at (612) 237-6630.
