Come Early!

Those who would like to come to Convention early may still take advantage of the Delta Chi Convention block. 

Take a look at Denver’s Come Early, Stay Late program to plan activities to enhance your time in Denver.

Registration & Exhibits

Check in for Delta Chi’s 61st International Convention! Receive your registration packet, attendee materials, delegate instructions, and more. Take some time to check out our exhibitors and mingle with brothers. To make the most of your time at Convention, we recommend you check in by early afternoon – you may even consider arriving in town Tuesday night. Chapter & Colony delegates are required to check in by Wednesday evening.

History of the Ritual

Take a journey through time and into the human mind as we explore the history of secret society rituals. We shall peer into the prehistory of human rituals, touch on the still super-secret Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece and their classical cousins, and explore the origins of the Masonic Ritual, the least secret of secret society rituals, widely considered the mother of fraternity rituals. Along the way, we shall explore the elements of ritual, what gives rituals their power to move us, the relationship of fraternity initiations with other secret society rituals and other rites of passage, and the history of college fraternity rituals and past studies of their contents. Finally, we will follow the story of our own Delta Chi Ritual, including the origins of each of its four parts and some of our secrets.
