Delta Chi (ΔΧ) (del-ta kai) is an international college social fraternity formed initially as a professional fraternity for law students. In 1922 the Fraternity officially started accepting general male student membership. Delta Chi abolished “hell week” in 1929, becoming the first American fraternity to do.
The spiritual founder of the fraternity is Sir Edward Coke. His idealism is best exemplified with one of his most famous quotes: “No man is above the law, not even the king.” This and many other of Coke’s theories of law and justice are those that Delta Chi strives to emulate.
There are now over 129 chapters and colonies of Delta Chi across North America. Delta Chi has initiated over 93,000 men since founding. Famous Alumni include actors Kevin Costner, and Ashton Kutcher, former US President Benjamin Harrison,
And former general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners Pat Gillick
