Voting eligibility and calculating your number of votes

• To determine if your chapter, colony, or alumni chapter is in good standing to vote at Convention, all you have to do is refer to Delta Chi Law:

Delta Chi Constitution, Section II, Item 4. Voting:

(1) DISTRIBUTION--Each chapter and colony and the Past “AA” committee shall cast the number of votes provided in Delta Chi Law.

(2) LOSS OF VOTE IN CONVENTION--A chapter shall have no vote at a Convention, if, at the time of the convening of such Convention:

• The chapter’s charter is revoked or suspended;
• The chapter is under Risk Management sanction of Level III Corrective Action or above as defined by Delta Chi Law;
• The chapter is not in financial Good Standing as defined by Delta Chi Law. Financial good standing is defined as owing the Fraternity $150 or less, 30 days or more past due (including delinquencies to the Housing Fund by the chapter or its house corporation on behalf of the chapter) at the convening of Convention.
• The chapter is under probation as defined in Article VII, Section 5, Subsection 7(b) of the By-Laws of The Delta Chi Fraternity.
  • Each undergraduate chapter must have at least 30 initiated member or a number of initiated members equal to or higher than the average for fraternities on the campus for that chapter, whichever is less.

  • Each undergraduate chapter shall be in registered attendance at each Convention and regional conference.

(3) COMPULSORY FOR CHAPTER TO SEND ACCREDITED DELEGATION—Even though the delegation may not qualify to vote, each undergraduate chapter shall send an accredited delegation to the Convention. Any undergraduate chapter that fails to send an accredited delegation to the Convention shall be fined five hundred dollars ($500). This fine may be waived or reduced by a majority vote of the Board.

• To figure the number of votes your chapter, colony, or alumni chapter in good standing with the Fraternity would have at Convention, all you have to do is refer to Delta Chi Law:
