The Trustee Society is the premier annual giving club of the Delta Chi Educational Foundation. Donors earn status in the Trustee Society by making unrestricted contributions to the Delta Chi Educational Foundation’s General Fund. These dollars assist in supporting DCEF operations that provide administrative and managerial oversight of the educational activities, programs, and scholarships offered to our members.

These dollars, in addition to operations, are used where the need is greatest for Fraternity leadership programming. 

In 2017 the new Emerging Leaders Academy benefited from a $30,000 grant from the DCEF’s General Fund, which would not have been possible without Unrestricted Giving.

The DCEF has raised over $1,000,000 in support of the A’s Academy since its inception in 2006. In 2016 alone, the DCEF granted over $90,000, representing 70% of the program’s total cost, ensuring every chapter “A” could attend expense free.

All of these programs have been supported by the Trustee Society members.  Beginning in 2018, the DCEF Board is proud to offer an exclusive Trustee Society Experience as a token of our sincere appreciation which will take place at Delta Chi’s 61st International Convention in Denver, Colorado on August 1-5. 

Exclusively for Trustee Society donors, who annually give $1,000 or more to the Foundation’s General Fund.  This complimentary excursion is our way of saying “thank you” for your generosity and financial support to Delta Chi.  Trustee Society donors may bring one, complimentary, family guest.  

In the past, the Foundation thanked and recognized our major donors with a Cocktail Reception prior to the start of the Closing Banquet at Convention.  Beginning in 2018, we’ve replaced the Reception with a one-of-a-kind, priceless experience, that you can only get through your association in Delta Chi, and participation as a Trustee Society donor. 

Our 2nd annual Trustee Society Experience is June 21-23, 2019 in Iowa City, Iowa. 

Join us for a Summer Weekend in Iowa!
