Ohio State Chartering

On Saturday, January 22, 2011, undergraduate brothers and alumni gathered to celebrate a new addition to the walls of the Ohio State Delta Chi house: a new charter. Since 2004, many men have worked to elevate the Colony’s operations to exceed the Fraternity’s chartering requirements. This spring, a new charter secures a place for over 100 years of brotherhood on Ohio State’s campus. At the banquet, the chartering proclamation was presented by R.C. Damle, “AA”, with the assistance of Steve Bossart, Past “AA”, and Tom Horowitz, Retiring “AA”. Paul Bohlman, Ohio State ’70, was recognized for his induction into the Order of the White Carnation at the 2010 International Convention. Fifteen undergraduate brothers were also recognized for earning at least a 3.25 GPA during the fall quarter. Chris Heiberger, Ohio State ’88 and “BB” of the new Chapter, commented on the occasion, “To obtain your charter means that you’ve accomplished goals that lay the groundwork for the future sustainability and success of your fraternity. In a sense, it’s leaving your legacy.” Erik Hail, “A”, added, “It has been an amazing journey that I will never, ever forget.” The Ohio State Chapter was originally chartered on May 30, 1902. The Chapter was re-chartered on May 12,1989. The Chapter ceased operations most recently on November 14, 2003 after losing campus recognition. A Delta Chi expansion team returned to campus the following fall to bring Delta Chi back to campus.
