Chapter Advisor to Be Inducted
into Order of Constantine
Del Tacconi, Utah State '62, Honored
for Dedication to Sigma Chi
E
ver since his initiation, Del Tacconi, Utah State '62, has been dedicated to and passionate about Sigma
Chi. In 2015 he was rewarded for that dedication by being inducted into the Order of Constantine.
The Order of Constantine is considered to be the highest honor that can be awarded to a Sigma Chi. It
recognizes the dedication, contribution, and service to Sigma Chi that each individual has shown. Since
its inception in 1948, 670 brothers have been accorded this great honor. When
asked how he felt about being inducted into the Order of Constantine Del said, "I
feel very humbled. It is the highest honor that can be conferred on a Sigma Chi."
When he first went to Utah State, Del knew he wanted to join a fraternity. As he
went through recruitment, there were a few contenders until he met the guys at
Sigma Chi. These were the guys he fit in with and he loved what the fraternity
stood for and valued. His undergraduate years were filled with fun memories and
lessons learned from Sigma Chi.
When he graduated he recognized his time with Sigma Chi was not over. After
moving to Danville, California, Del saw an opportunity to get involved with the Alpha Beta Chapter.
He has now been a chapter advisor for 11 years. His dedication to Sigma Chi stems from his belief that
everyone should want to give back to the organization that had given them so much. The chapter helps
shape men into the people they become, which is one of Del's favorite things about Sigma Chi.
Del is now retired from his job of vice president at Swank Inc. and lives with his wife, Linda. Much of
his time is spent catching up with other Sigma Chi alumni and his duties as chapter advisor. He will be
presented the Constantine Award during Homecoming week in the fall of 2015. You can contact Del at
cal.sigmachi.advisor@gmail.com.
Congratulations, Del, and thank you for all of the dedication and service that you have given to Sigma Chi.
