History of Delta Pi Chapter

Originally chartered at SJSU on March 3, 1950, the chapter has long been a part of SJSU’s Greek Life. After a short time off campus, the chapter returned in 2002 and has striven to be the best Fraternity on campus as well as competing with other Pike chapters nationwide. For the past 5 years the chapter has won consecutive excellence awards at nationals.
