The Delta Chi Oral History Project

PCI-Web-Graphic3

The Project

Every Delta Chi has a story and the Fraternity wants to hear yours!

We’re embarking on a new project — The Delta Chi Oral History Project — to collect the stories of alumni in their own words. These stories will be preserved in a book that celebrates the impact the Delta Chi Fraternity has had on your life and who you are today. Every year we don’t capture and preserve these stories feels like another opportunity lost, so we’re excited to get started!

Frequently Asked Questions

I received an email/postcard/phone call from a company asking for my personal information and a story about Delta Chi Fraternity. Is this a legitimate project or is it a scam?

It’s legit! We have partnered with PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts) to produce an Oral History Publication for Delta Chi Fraternity. PCI is a family owned business based in Dallas, TX that has published directories for educational institutions, fraternities, sororities, and military organizations across the nation for almost 100 years. This project allows Delta Chi Fraternity to hear about your personal experiences and explain how Delta Chi Fraternity has helped shape your lives.

Does Delta Chi Fraternity benefit from this at all?

Yes, in a few different ways:

  1. Updated Information – allows us to effectively communicate with and engage members
  2. Legacy – preserves the history of our school
  3. Revenue – generates donation revenue for member programs
  4. Pride – wearing apparel shows support and love for our organization

The names, addresses and information provided to PCI for the publication of the Oral History Project will be held confidential by PCI, except to the extent that they are utilized in, or in the preparation of, the Oral History Project and except as required by court order or law. Upon completion of the project, PCI will redact PII (Personal Identifiable information) from any and all electronic files that we have supplied or were produced by PCI in connection with the production of the Oral History Project.

I would like to verify or update my information and share a story. How may I do this?
  • If you have received a postcard or an email with a telephone number, you may call the number to speak with a dedicated representative for the Oral History Project. The representative will verify all the information we have on file for you, make any updates where needed, then ask you to share your story about your time at Delta Chi Fraternity. Your story will be recorded and the sound clip provided to Delta Chi Fraternity at the conclusion of the project. 
  • If you have received an email with an embedded link, you may go to the online site to review your information and submit a story. 
Can I choose what information prints in the publication?

When you call to update your information, you can tell the representative if you prefer any of your information be excluded. You can also communicate your preferences to PCI’s customer service helpdesk at 1-800-982-1590 / customerservice@publishingconcepts.com.

I updated my information but need some more time to think about what experience to share. 

You can call back at any time to share your story.

I shared a story and the representative said I could send some photos. How do I do this?

You will receive an email with a link to upload up to two photos (black and white or color) plus captions.

Volunteer Appreciation Week 2021

As Delta Chi kicks off our annual Volunteer Appreciation Week, we are reminded of the value and importance of time in our lives. Time is the most precious commodity someone can share and we are grateful for the generosity of our volunteers who share their time with our members and Fraternity.

Volunteers play a crucial role at all levels of Delta Chi. Whether sharing your time as a facilitator for one of our educational programs, serving as a mentor, providing guidance as an International Committee member, or supporting our members as a “BB”, ABT, or Housing Corporation member, your contributions serve as an example for others. At a time when the need and desire for connection and belonging is as strong as ever, our volunteers continue to invest their time to enhance the lives and experiences of our members.

As Volunteer Appreciation Week continues, we hope that you will take some time for yourself and reflect on the positive impact you’ve made. From getting coffee with a student, attending monthly ABT meetings, scheduling a Zoom mentoring session, or giving up your nights and weekends to facilitate a program, THANK YOU for always going above and beyond and for your willingness to share your time and talents with our members.

Love, Mom & Dad: Turning tragedy into progress (Spring 2021) from NICfraternity on Vimeo.

The Anti-Hazing Coalition hosted a live nationwide presentation and discussion on Sunday, March 21, 2021. The AHC parents presented a program via Zoom and live on Facebook to share their sons’ stories and educate current students about hazing prevention. The program included Q&A with the parents.

These families each suffered unimaginable loss as a result of fraternity hazing. They are here to share their stories and to challenge ALL fraternity/sorority members to take up the fight to end hazing now. If we are not actively part of solving this problem, then we are responsible for its continued persistence. Whether you’ve been hazed, know that hazing is happening on your campus, or even if you’ve hazed one of your members in the past, we must all actively take part in this solving this problem so that no family has to endure this kind of tragedy. Let’s be the generation of fraternity and sorority members who end hazing once and for all.

Parents scheduled to participate in the program: Deb Debrick, her son Dalton died after a hazing incident at Texas Tech University; Steve and Rae Ann Gruver, their son Max died after a hazing incident at Louisiana State University; Lianne Kowiak, her son Harrison died after a hazing incident at Lenoir-Rhyne University; Jim and Evelyn Piazza, their son Tim died after a hazing incident at Penn State University; and Kathleen Wiant, her son Collin died after a hazing incident at Ohio University.
