I have begun the process of adding Chi Delta Rho as an official entry in Wikipedia.
If anyone can offer any important information about Chi Delta Rho, please comment here or use the Contact Us page to send me a message with the relevant information.
Things I am looking for:
- A list of all Chapters (schools)
- Official Colors, Mottos, Slogans, Values, etc
- Was there a headquarters?
…I am planning to add a Delta Kappa entry to Wikipedia as well, once the Chi Delta Rho page is underway and has some “guts” to it.
I have been collecting Lambda Chi Alpha items since I was an undergraduate (1996-2000).
Here is a copy of the 1957 Constitution and Statutory Code (14th Ed.) that I recently purchased on eBay. It is saved as a .pdf for your viewing pleasure. Click the thumbnail to see the cover. Click here to view the .pdf of the 1957 Lambda Chi Alpha Constitution and Statutory Code.
Remember, this was when new members were called Pledges, et al.
Did you know that throughout the history of our organization, Chi Delta Rho, Delta Kappa and Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternities have lived in 9 houses in Whitewater?
We are in the process of documenting all of the houses with “Then & Now” pictures.
Here are the first two we have for you, click on the image to see larger, more detailed pictures.
Many thanks to Brother Domingo Nicks for taking the time to shoot these photos.
I have been doing some research, tapping into the archives department at Anderson Library at the University in Whitewater. I have received scans of Whitewater yearbooks (formerly known as the Minneiska) from years in the early 30’s-60’s. The remaining years from the 70’s-early 90’s (when the publication ceased printing) will be in my possession shortly. I will be putting together a complete history of Lambda Chi Alpha, Chi Delta Rho, Delta Kappa, and Beta Kappa Nu lineage throughout our existance in Whitewater. Check out a sample of the great photos, such as this one of Chi Delta Rho from 1937 (click thumbnail to enlarge).
Besides all of the great photos, we can trace the movement of the Fraternity houses throughout the city as Chi Delta Rho and Delta Kappa moved several times.
Keep your eyes out for the history to be posted soon, as well as photos to be posted for enjoyment of everyone. Speaking of which, here is a photo of a major contributor to the site: Brother Red Moeller from 1963.
These materials are fantastic and I would like to thank the Archive Department at the Anderson Library and their zeal in finding materials related to our Fraternity.
Here are a few pictures from the Delta Kappa/Chi Delta Rho summer Luncheon which took place on July 18th in the Wisconsin Dells.
More photos and info about the event are forthcoming.
If you have photos from the luncheon you would like to share, please email them to me 
Thanks to Brother Mike Skogstad (Class of 1961) for this photo of his Delta Kappa Pledge Class. Click the thumbnail to see the full-size image.
The Honorable Frank Gombar, Pledgemaster

Thanks to Brother Red Moeller for supplying this photo of the 1958 Pledge Class of Delta Kappa, taken in May. This photo was taken of the brand new Anderson Library.
*Note from Jeff: Probably the largest gathering of Brothers at Anderson Library at one time 
Thanks to Brother Dick Olsen for this photo. Brothers Dick Olsen and Red Moeller say that by 1960, Pledges were still required to carry pledge paddles, pledge books, wear black pants, white shirts, black vests, but were no longer required to wear the fake mustaches (as seen in other Pledge photos).
