Our History

Delta Gamma Iota was founded in 1965 at Vincennes University in Vincennes, IN. Delta Gamma Iota was founded on 3 principals: Diligence, Brotherhood, and Integrity. In hopes of betterment, Delta Gamma Iota went national as Sigma Phi Epsilon in 1973. In 1992, Sigma Phi Epsilon pulled out all charters at 2 year schools because of revenue. The remaining Brothers were determined to start over and continue the tradition of Brotherhood, and did so by re-founding themselves as Delta Gamma Iota on December 5, 1993.

In the Fall of 1997, two Brothers from the Alpha Chapter went on to continue their education at Ball State University. These two men wanted to bring the bond they shared among their Brothers at Vincennes to Ball State. They sat in a dorm room with an incredibly large Greek community and began to form the newest chapter of Delta Gamma Iota. A few more brothers from the Alpha Chapter enrolled at Ball State, Founding Fathers were recruited, and the Gamma Chapter of Delta Gamma Iota was founded on February 7, 1998. Ball State University officially recognized the Gamma Chapter of Delta Gamma Iota on February 17th, 1999.

Since our founding, many pledge classes have passed through the halls of Delta Gamma Iota, and all these men continue to pass the bond of Brotherhood to future Brothers. These young men that are involved in the active chapter continue to carry out our legacy, now 60 years of excellence!
