Chapter History
Founding
On December 2, 1999, Delta Iota Chapter at the New Mexico State University was founded by Andrea Folcik with an initial class of 35.
Early Years & Adversity
With a colonization of 35 members, things looked very bright for Delta Iota Chapter. However, things proved to not be as simple as they seemed. There was much confusion as to how things should be done and the direction the chapter wanted to go. Many members did not feel a closeness or brotherhood and felt more like 'members' of an organization, rather than brothers in a fraternity. Even though there were 35 members, they managed to recruit only one new brother in the Spring of 2000. The following Fall was not any better with only one new member. There began a mass exodus as about 20 of the initial 35 ended up leaving the brotherhood. Spring 2001 and Fall 2001 saw no new brothers. Things were looking very grim for the chapter, however two very key members would ensure its survival.
Rebirth
Spring 2002 with three active members, Beth Johnson (Pres) and Luke Shiver (VP) came up with the idea of a bulk mailout to select NMSU students who met our fraternal requirements. That would result in a dramatic turnaround that lead to recruit and induct 20 new quality brothers in the Chapter. Delta Iota had finally grown, turned itself around, and become a stronger chapter. Many who were inducted became excutive board members immediately and began shaping our future. One year later, Luke Shiver (Pres) promoted the ideals of continuing strong recruitment in the never ending search of quality members. Membership grew yet again and Lisa Ambrosia (Phi Sigma Pi National Consultant) came to NMSU and helped organize and instruct on our fraternal expectations. As many of the executive board members from the initial recruitment in Spring 2002 grew with the fraternity, as did Delta Iota, which resulted in laying the strong foundations for many years to come. In the Fall of 2004, Delta Iota inducted its first Honorary Brother, Phillip McNamara. It was a big deal for the chapter as he was the first and much research was done into getting it done correctly.
More Adversity
In the school year 2005-2006, Delta Iota chapter was confronted with unexpected problems. Many brothers that went locally inactive for Fall 2005 decided not to return to PSP in the Spring. With graduation and the inactives permanently leaving Phi Sigma Pi, the chapter was down to 12 brothers. The rush for the semester was very difficult as there were only 2 initiates. Both ended up dropping the initiate program, leaving Delta Iota with no new brothers for Spring 2006. With graduation, the chapter was down to nine members and with many internal problems, things were looking very bleak for the chapter.
Second Rebirth
Over the summer and at the beginning of the Fall semester, the chapter knew it had it's work cut out to re-vitalize the chapter. Through much dedication and hard work, the chapter had a strong rush class and was able to bring the numbers in the chapter above 15. The chapter has worked hard every semester and has not repeated the disaster of the Spring of 2006. Currently the Delta Iota Chapter stands at 14 Active Brothers (3 will be graduating in May) with 7 Initiates being inducted at the end of the Month.
The Active Chapter
In recent years, the size of the Chapter has generally fluctuated between 10 and 25 Brothers each semester. Delta Iota Brothers are very active within Phi Sigma Pi as well as other organizations on-campus, ranging from honor societies to social fraternities/sororities to academic department organizations to College Councils.
Current Members
Executive Board
The Chapter currently has an eight member Executive Board. Officers are elected each spring to serve the following academic year. The composition and size of Delta Iota's Executive Board has continually evolved as the Chapter has matured. Unwilling to settle for the status quo, the Chapter has added officer positions and shifted responsibilities to meet new challenges.
