Catching up with Brother H. Keith Hellems, M.D. ’62: In His Own Words

H. Keith Hellems, M.D. (’62 B.S) says that Delta Chi gave him an anchor in a very large university: 

The fraternity gave me a home and continuity to build friendships and create an identity.   Most of us, particularly me, came to the campus young, naive and inexperienced.   The fraternity gave us a place to develop our intellectual and social skills.   I established myself in the fraternity by winning ‘Dork of the Year’ two times and ‘Wedge of the Year’ 3 times (I believe still a record).   I was C for a year and was elected president for 1961-62.  

Greg Kaiser ’61 Turns Passion for Chinese Studies into Lifelong Career

When Greg Kaiser ’61 was an undergraduate, Delta Chi was among the top 5 fraternities in academic standing at Michigan, an honor in which brothers took a great deal of pride. This memory of his time in the Delta Chi house is no surprise coming from Brother Kaiser, who committed his four years at Michigan—and his graduate studies and career—to Chinese and Japanese languages and culture.  Click “Read More” for the full story about Greg’s experiences!
