Another weekend of leadership training for Delta Chi is in the books…
Over 150 attendees, facilitators and staff set foot on the grounds of Saint Meinrad for the sixth consecutive year. Below is a collection of photos from the event!
How does Delta Chi pay for all of this?
The Academy is available, free of charge, to all chapter/colony “A”s of the Delta Chi Fraternity. The Academy is made possible due in part to a grant of $71,500 from the Delta Chi Educational Foundation. This grant is funded by two generous donors, Steven Michels, Marquette ’87, and Donald LaPlante, Southern California. The Fraternity incurs the remainder of the costs... that support comes from members like you!
“The experience was unforgettable, being able to gather with all the leaders of Delta Chi to share knowledge and network was possibly one of
the best opportunities I have ever had.” ~ Marshall Hess, North Alabama
~ Dick McKaig, Ball State ’66
“It was a watershed weekend because it made random strangers eaiser to talk to plus provided the confidence and advice to become a better person as well as a more efficient leader.
~ Michael T. Gibson, West Virginia Tech
What is Saint Meinrad?
The Saint Meinrad Archabbey, Seminary and School of Theology is one of 11 archabbeys around the globe and continues to foster the monastic rhythm of prayer, work and lifelong learning. It is located on what is affectionately known as the “Holy Hill” and can be found on the map in St. Meinrad, IN.
