About Theta Delta Chi at UC Berkeley
Our fraternity at UC Berkeley was established in 1900 for male students attending UC Berkeley. Where friends become brothers, in a common search for academic success built on strong bonds of friendship without prejudices. We welcome excellent young men of academic achievement, from California and all over the globe. We honor tradition, enjoy social activities and events, and create friendships which last a lifetime.
Solid Fraternity – Long History
Established in 1900, the Delta Deuteron charge is a chapter of Theta Delta Chi international fraternity. We’re one of the oldest surviving fraternity chapters on the Berkeley campus. Our chapter’s Charge house was built in 1916 for our fraternity, designed by one of our alumni.
Better College Life
Our mission is to provide safe accommodations for male students attending UC Berkeley. The social environment at TDX benefits the men with friendships, and support against the stress & challenge of Cal’s rigorous coursework.
Our mission is to help students achieve graduation and success in life, enhanced by strong friendships and memories from our fraternity days.
Managing For The Future
Fraternity brotherhood is active and social. The young men study and then relax—that’s their main focus. But they also help operate parts of the fraternity business; gaining experience in leadership and management.
Men who graduate from UC Berkeley with fraternity leadership and social experiences are more well prepared for the rigors of professional adult life. They enter working life with advantages which support success.
Our vision is to sustain this historic residence in perpetuity, to ensure that future Cal men will have the option of living in Theta Delta Chi.
