Rush and Membership Process
There are three stages that every Delta Chi goes through: Associate Member, Undergraduate Member, and Alumni. As an Associate Member (AM), you gain knowledge into the inner workings, gain rewarding personal relationships with men like you, and what it means to be a Delta Chi. Once you have reached a certain breadth of knowledge into 
the philosophies and operations of the fraternity, you are initiated into the Brotherhood. You will spend the next 3 or 4 years in an organization promoting friendship, advancing justice, and acquiring a sound education. Once you have reached the required maturity and advancement in your undergraduate career, you will become an Alumnus. A Delta Chi spends the majority of his time as an Alumnus of the Delta Chi Fraternity. This is a time where one gives back to his chapter and his fraternity as a whole that supported him in surviving Kettering University. So if you want a Brotherhood that will work diligently to help you succeed in your endeavors, come and check it out! We are, "The Brotherhood of a Lifetime."

What should someone look for in a fraternity?
Everyone has to answer this question for themselves. Some people look for different things. Some look for a place to drink and get smashed. That's their prerogative. Others, a place to just hang out, a place to study, a place that feels like home.
There are more important things to look for, though. A fraternity is a group of guys who are brothers, not friends. This is really the most important part of being a fraternity.
A brother is ...
- someone who is there to help, even when they already had plans.
- someone who will make you laugh when you are down.
- someone who will tell you when you make a mistake.
- someone who always wants to include you in their group.
- someone who has fun with their brothers just because they are together.
- someone who is willing to listen to your ideas because they value your judgments.
- someone who will compliment you when you do something well and speaks highly of you when talking to others.
- someone who is there for you.
Someone can easily look for one thing in a fraternity, brotherhood. Delta Chi is a brotherhood of a lifetime.
RecommendationsLooking good for a fraternity can be taken in many ways. Some things, all fraternities would look for is a motivated, energetic, hard working individuals. We want people who will work to make the fraternity successful, and are willing to do the work that is required from day to day and lead the rest of your brothers. Don't be lazy, talk only about drinking beer, partying, etc. That does not impress people as much as one might think. Be a gentleman too. You are soon going to be in the real professional world, this is the place to tune those skills. Another important thing is good grades. If your grades are poor, you won't be allowed to join a fraternity. If you do get into a fraternity, many have a minimum requirement in order to remain in good standing or hold an officer position. You are at a university to learn, experience, and graduate. Don't waste the most important years of your life. Study hard, do well, and make the most of your life. A fraternity is looking for this kind of man, and so should you.
