Delta Chi Psi traces its roots to the beginning of Spring 2002. The organization originally formed as Temple Asian Brothers United (TABU) at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. TABU's mission was to fill the lack of community and brotherhood in the Philadelphia Area and to find the first Asian-Interest Fraternity. TABU remained an official Temple University Student Organization until the summer of 2004.
In the summer of 2004, several active members of TABU met to lay the groundwork for Delta Chi Psi. Seven members of TABU choose to undergo this endeavor. They were Alex Chang, Isaac Alston, Kevin Mui, Tuan Dinh, Dangwei Zhao, Enoch Lee, and Liang Huang. The group also enlisted James Li and Andrew Park from Villanova University. With this, the group now consisted of nine individuals.
In the fall of 2004 the members entered into their own education program. Upon completion, they emerged on the 18th of December 2004 as Delta Chi Psi's first brothers and ultimately the Founding Fathers of the fraternity.
Delta Chi Psi has been in existence since and new brothers come into the fraternity every semester. Currently, Delta Chi Psi has 50 brothers and continues to provide community and brotherhood to students of the Philadelphia region. Delta Chi Psi's Rush commences near the beginning of each academic semester throughout the Philadelphia area universities . The fraternity is an official member of Temple University Greek Council as of April 7, 2008.
"The founders started DXPsi to unify the Asian community at Temple, make the Asian community at Temple more visible, and to preserve Asian culture among its members. DXPsi promotes networking, social and interpersonal skills as well as academic achievement. DXPsi pushes its brothers to thrive for excellence and to be leaders among their peers. DXPsi is not your typical fraternity. Being an Asian-interest and cultural fraternity their key values are respect and dignity. One of the main goals of the fraternity is to make a difference in the Asian American community. They want to pass down Asian culture and its values from one generation to another. These things are what set them apart from other Greek organizations."
The mission of Delta Chi Psi is to promote brotherhood, preserve Asian/American culture, raise Asian/American awareness and help our brothers reach their full potential. Through community service, recreational activities, social events and personal challenges, Delta Chi Psi guides its brothers to become dedicated, determined and dignified individuals.[2]
In the Fall of 2007, the brothers of Delta Chi Psi formally adopted a national philanthropy to support the efforts to reduce disability and deaths caused by cardiovascular disease and stroke. For many patients, heart disease plagues our community and takes away the lives of our dear loved ones. By increasing Asian American awareness, Delta Chi Psi hopes to provide a gateway for others to seek knowledge and assistance within and not limited to the Asian community. To pay tribute to the victims of heart disease, DXPsi has created a campaign called “Race for a Cause” where brothers run in the Philadelphia Marathon and spread awareness through donations and contributions aimed towards the American Heart Association.
The fraternity takes an active part in giving back to the surrounding community in Philadelphia by participating in community service events through the year. As a complement to the university value of social responsibility Delta Chi Psi has held its commitment to community service through these following events.[3]
