Chi Delta Theta [kahy del-tuh they-tuh] ( ΧΔΘ ), also known as "Chi Delts", is an Asian American interest sorority founded on October 13, 1989. The sisters of Chi Delta Theta all strive for academic excellence, cultural awareness, social activity, togetherness, and community involvement.
Together, our goals are to unite clubs and organizations, to educate and enhance the learning of culture, community, to encourage interaction and networking between fraternities and sororities on and off campus, and to provide a support network for our members.
