Delta Chi fraternity is returning to campus in the coming months and is looking to make a grand entrance with new members and large impact with leadership opportunities.
Justin Sherman, director of fraternity growth and advancement with Delta Chi Fraternity, Inc., said the organization is currently in the process of recruiting new members through referrals and individual meetings for the organization’s 129th chapter. A short information session will be held Thursday at 7 p.m. in McCool 234.
“This is an opportunity for students to make the most of their college experience,” he said. “It is the opportunity of opportunities.”
Sherman said the organization is looking to create a group that will focus on leadership and academic excellence.
“Our goal is to create an organization that will be an asset to this community, not just Mississippi State University,” he said.
The new chapter should be established during the current semester and plans are in the works to have the fraternity house ready to go by fall 2013. Sherman said they will not be participating in rush this year, but rather are recruiting new members through referrals and meetings with students who might be interested in learning about the experience.
“Delta Chi is offering the opportunity to create a new fraternity and to be a founding father, responsible for setting the standards and traditions that will last for years to come,” Sherman said in a press release.
According to the press release, Delta Chi was originally founded as a law fraternity. Today, the fraternity ranks among the largest fraternities internationally with 129 chapters and colonies and over 100,000 alumni across the United States and Canada.
