Delta Gamma Iota was founded in 1965 at Vincennes University. Delta Gamma Iota was founded on 3 principals: Diligence, Integrity and Brotherhood. 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 two-year schools because of revenue. The remaining Brothers were determined to start over and continue the tradition of Brotherhood, and did by re-founding themselves as Delta Gamma Iota on December 5, 1993. Since then the Fraternity has thrived, and has out lived its fraternal expectancy of 3-5 years at a two-year school. 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 17, 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. Delta Gamma Iota is a Fraternity that prides itself on conservative numbers and the strength of our brotherhood. We have a very diverse group of brothers because of our extremely low dues. Our standard dues are less than 1/3rd that of the average national Fraternities, which leaves the door open for people of various income levels. The objectives of this organization are to create and perpetuate friendship among members, to develop and strengthen character, and to preserve ideals and Christian Principles on which this fraternal organization was founded.
