Delta Chi - Educational Foundation

POINTS OF PRIDE 4 Growing Our Fraternity • In our first 25 years, we initiated 1,779 new members. In the last 25 years, we have initiated 51,591 new brothers. • We have established 22 alumni chapters in the last 10 years—substantially more than our first 120 years. • We are focused on retaining brothers through the development and implementation of our Associate Member Program. Designed to develop leaders from day one, the chapters who use it have increased their retention of new members by more than 80 percent. Impacting Our Communities Delta Chi was founded on the principle of bringing men together for common good, and that truth remains central to the experience today. • Since 2006, Delta Chis have raised nearly $2 million for The V Foundation for Cancer Research and endowed nine grants funding cancer research. Our strong partnership with The V Foundation allows each member to make a greater impact on finding cures for cancer than they could ever do on their own. • Hands-on service allows our men to advance justice in their communities, and every October, leading up to the celebration of our founding, brothers engage in International Service Week. Life-changing Leadership Opportunities We know that our chapters are only as good as their leaders, so for the past 15 years, Delta Chi has invested in the enhanced development of elected and emerging chapter leaders. • In 2006, we created the "A"s' Academy to guide each chapter's top leader in setting goals to consistently move the group forward and arm him with the confidence he needs to lead from the front. Since then, more than 1,700 chapter presidents have started their leadership journeys at "A"s' Academy. • The Emerging Leaders Academy, started in 2017, engages young leaders in exploring their strengths and identifying opportunities where they can leverage their skills to positively contribute to their Delta Chi experience and community. Participants say they have gained a stronger connection to Delta Chi, feel more prepared to take on a leadership role within their chapter, and have developed plans they can utilize to implement positive change. Advancing Justice Delta Chis are focused on doing the right thing. Advancing justice has been our cardinal principle from the Fraternity's inception, and today, we do this through ensuring every brother is welcomed into a Fraternity where he feels like he belongs. • For Delta Chi, this priority is not new. We have long honored embracing each brother for their character. We were the first predominantly white fraternity to elect a Black international president and a South Asian international president.
