About the chapter

Delta Chi at Truman State.
Built to last.

Chartered in 1978, TSU Delta Chi has built more than 40 years of uninterrupted excellence at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri — academically, socially, and as a national leader in the Delta Chi Fraternity.

Today the chapter is led by "A" Cole Schneidermeyer and continues to set the standard for fraternity life on campus. Your investment — in time, money, and engagement — keeps that standard high.

🏆

President's Brotherhood Gavel — #1 Chapter in All of Delta Chi

At the 2026 International Convention in Indianapolis, TSU Delta Chi was awarded the first-ever President's Brotherhood Gavel, given to the number one chapter in all of Delta Chi. The chapter also earned its seventh consecutive President's Cup — its thirteenth overall — along with 8 of 8 Awards of Excellence.

📚

Academic Excellence — #1 on Campus

Delta Chi has held the highest IFC GPA at Truman State for 9 of the past 11 semesters — currently 3.50, with new members at 3.54. Consistently the top fraternity on campus.
