Cardinal Beliefs

“Careful and persistent work or effort.”

As college men, diligence forms the backbone of our academic and personal success. We pursue excellence in every endeavor, knowing that discipline and persistence are essential to becoming the best versions of ourselves. Our brotherhood thrives on the commitment each member brings to both personal growth and service to the fraternity.

“The feeling of kinship with and closeness to a group of people.”

Brotherhood is our foundation – the bond that unites us beyond the classroom, beyond the campus, and beyond our years at Ball State. We believe that a true fraternity is not built on numbers, but on the strength of its relationships. Delta Gamma Iota provides a home, a support system, and a lifelong family for every man who wears our letters.

“The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.”

Integrity defines the character of a Delta Gamma Iota man. We strive to lead with honor, act with honesty, and represent our fraternity and university with dignity. Integrity is not simply a value — it is the measure of our actions, the standard for our behavior, and the example we set for others.
