The Truman State Chapter of Delta Chi boasts a very active social calendar. Each semester we host some of the largest parties on campus in the recreation building behind our house. These events are in addition to our regularly scheduled mixers with the lovely ladies of Truman’s social and service sororities. Our social chairs spend countless hours planning each and every event, so that our parties maintain the reputation of being the safest and most fun on campus.
Partying Smart:
- Always bring a friend when going out or alert others of where you will be.
- Active members can help you with any problems you may be having. If for some reason you cannot find a Delta Chi among the crowd, please alert our DJ or door workers of any problems.
- Never attempt to drive after drinking; regardless of how little you’ve had, it’s never a good idea. Always designate a sober driver before going out for the night.
Every year we host six huge themed parties, each of which has become a Truman classic in its own right. Below are these major events we host every year, click on the links to learn more.
Annual Parties
Balloon Party
Each September we host our Balloon Party. By inflating over 5,000 balloons in our building, we can “party waist deep.” We use fans to direct the balloons away from doors and our stage for everyone’s safety.
Choose Your Poison (CYP)
This is our campus-wide legendary party. Ask any upper classman and they will tell you, “CYP is the one party you HAVE to go to.” Originally started as a small halloween costume party in 1995, this party is still going strong. We spare no expense to make this party something we all remember.
Reactive
Started as an idea by the Beta Zeta AM class, brothers Mike D, Eric Pogue, and Grant Dail made this party worthy of repeating. Truman lacks any real night clubs for students, so for this party we turn the whole place into a night club, complete with extra lighting effects, black lights, free glow sticks, and much, much more.
Valentine’s Day Singles Bash
Dateless? Lonely? Have a date and just hate that there’re only formals around Valentine’s Day? Kick it with us right before that fateful “Couples’ Day.”
Mardi Gras
New Orleans is a good 14 hours from Kirksville, but the same atmosphere is only 100 yards behind Centennial Hall. Red and Gold beads by the case, masks, and a beautifully decorated building bring late February to life.
Delta Pacific
A taste of summer in the spring. Flowers, palm trees, and leis. Our “last hurrah” in the spring. Originally started in the early 90s, we’ve revamped this party into something special. We decorate our building to turn it into a tropical paradise. This is definitely our biggest spring party and is definitely worth stopping by.
