est. 1890

Welcome to the Mankato Chapter of the Delta Chi Fraternity. Our chapter is currently going into its 20th year as a fraternity at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Delta Chi has a long history of developing student leaders who have gone on to achieve great things once they have left college.

They have put what they have learned from the fraternity into their professional and social life. We, as a fraternity, believe in the ideals of promoting friendship, developing character, advancing justice, and acquiring a sound education. If these appeal to you, then Delta Chi is the brotherhood you are looking for.

Take your time as you browse through our website to learn about the rich tradition we value so much and how Delta Chi will enrich your college experience and beyond.

On April 28th, at 11 AM sharp, alumni and brothers are invited to participate in a golf tournament at North Links Golf Course.

Regional Leadership Conference

6 of the brothers spent this weekend in Warrensburg, Missouri on the campus of Central Missouri for the annual Region IV Regional Leadership Conference. Over 200 brothers from 15 schools in the area attended and took part in workshops and roundtables concerning chapter operations, recruitment, and the personal development. We had a blast in Warrensburg and learned some great tips and ideas from our fellow brothers from around the area. It was great to hear what other chapters are doing and how we can implement those ideas in Mankato.

Delta Chi Thanksgiving / Christmas

Our annual Thankgiving celebration was held on Saturday, the 4th at the house in Mankato. 17 brothers and our sweetheart gathered to celebrate the holidays and give cheers to the end of the semester. A turkey dinner was held followed by a gift exchange among the brothers. Who knew we were such good cooks. The Mavericks hockey team played host to the University of Minnesota that night and we were able to see the Mavs complete the sweep over the hated Gophers. We hope everyone has a great finals week and winter break. Happy holidays to all!

10/10/10 - ΔΧ - 2nd in Homecoming Divison

We finished second place in our division during last week's Homecoming activities beating more than a dozen other organizations. After we placed in Tuesday's photo scavenger hunt of the campus, Tyler Polzin was within a noodle of moving on in Wednesday's Spaghetti eating contest. Thursday night was the all campus Lip Sync, followed by a pep rally Friday night. The rain Friday night ruined our parade float but didn't ruin our Saturday as we attended the football game and comedian Saturday night, where we received our prize. The week was a great brotherhood builder and we showed why we are one of the up and coming organizations on campus. Congrats and thank you to everyone for the great week!
