About Us
​

The Northeast Ohio Alumni Chapter of The Delta Chi Fraternity was formed for Alumni from all Delta Chi Chapters living in the Northeast Ohio area, to gather at events to celebrate Brotherhood and Social justice through philanthropic events. 

 

The History
​

The Alumni Chapter started back in the early 2000's and ran for a few years but was closed.  In 2016 a group of dedicated Alumni felt the Alumni Chapter needed to be reformed and on  October 13th 2016 the large group of alumni gathered at Harry's Steakhouse in Independence, OH, the same location the original Chapter formed, and committed to the Chartering of the Northeast Ohio Alumni Chapter.  On October 25th, 2016 the Delta Chi Board of Regents approved the Chartering of the current Alumni Chapter.

​

Structure

​

The Alumni Chapter is set-up a separate identity 501 C (7)  affiliated  with the International Delta Chi Fraternity in the same way as an Undergraduate Chapter is set-up.  We are responsible for all our own tax filings and are NOT tax exempt in the same way as an Undergraduate Chapter.  Follow the link to our Chapter By-laws.

What does my $35 ($15 virtual) NEO Alumni Chapter membership get me?

​

  • We invest most of our dues directly back into our membership.  We use the membership funds to:

    • Provide discounted tickets to events you attend

      • In addition to group rates we get for events, we use our dues to further reduce the costs for our members to attend events

    • Cover some of the food costs at events

      • Appetizers are always on us!

    • Help cover speaker costs

      • Membership funds may be used to cover expenses for bringing in speakers on a variety of professional and personal growth (ex. financial consultant, career counseling, etc.)

    • Provide funds for our annual Founder’s Day event

      • Each year the NEO Alumni chapter coordinates a Founder’s Day event to bring Brothers together on our “birthday”

      • The NEO alumni chapter works with the undergraduate chapters to facilitate alumni rededications for graduating seniors as well as alumni that have not yet taken part in the ceremony

      • Like any organization there are some minimal costs for operations (ex. postage, website, outreach, communications, etc.).
