How You Can Get Involved:

Fathers or other male relatives are potential candidates for alumni initiation. An alumnus initiate is someone selected by an undergraduate chapter to be initiated into the Bond. He is someone whom the undergraduate members believe can enhance the Fraternity. Alumni initiates can provide a tremendous amount of assistance in all areas of chapter operations, especially to those chapters with restricted alumni interaction due to geographical location. For this reason, they are excellent candidates for holding positions within a chapter’s alumni support structure (e.g., ABT, house corporation, Faculty Advisor or “BB”). The Delta Chi alumnus initiate is neither an “honorary member” nor an “honorary initiate.” An alumnus initiate receives recognition as a full member of The Delta Chi Fraternity and has the same rights and privileges as any other alumnus of the Fraternity. An alumnus initiate cannot be an initiated member of any other college social fraternity.

Parents' or Moms' Clubs are a great way for you to get involved with your sons' chapters. Parents' Clubs play a role in the organizing of parents' weekends, homecoming, house improvements and decorations, fundraisers, finals care packages, etc. Members of the Moms' Club often serve in positions on the Alumni Board of Trustees.
