The Delta Chi Fraternity was founded on October 13, 1890 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Originally founded as a law fraternity, Delta Chi was built on four core values that it still maintains to this day: promoting friendship, developing character, advancing justice, and assisting in the acquisition of a sound education. As men of Delta Chi, we are men of action. We don’t just advertise our values, we live by them. With 112 chapters across North America, Delta Chi has seen some of the largest membership growth out of any NIC fraternity over the past calendar year.
Delta Chi’s international philanthropic partner is the V Foundation for Cancer Research, which was founded by ESPN and legendary college basketball coach Jim Valvano with one goal in mind: to achieve victory over cancer. Recognizing the prevalence of cancer among our own communities and the urgent need for research and cures, Delta Chi has raised over $2.1 million since we began our partnership with the V Foundation in 2006, all in the name of supporting the fight against cancer.
The Tennessee Provisional Chapter was founded in Spring 2023, making it Delta Chi’s newest chapter, as well as the newest fraternity here at the University of Tennessee. Despite being a new, young chapter, our founding fathers have wasted no time making an impact on campus, and we are looking for more young men to join us. If you want a fraternity experience that will challenge you to grow as a leader, student, and man, we would love to meet you!
