Intramurals
Armon Varmeziar, Intramurals Chair
Delta Chi remains one of the most competitive fraternities on campus when it comes to intramural sports. We participate in every sport GT has to offer (football, basketball, soccer, ultimate frisbee, volleyball, dodgeball, etc.) and our teams consistently make it to playoffs or further. This past year Delta Chi was competitive in every intramural sport as all of the teams made it to the playoffs. In the fall of 2017, our Co-rec soccer team won school championship. Through hard work and the strength of our brotherhood, Delta Chi ranked 4th out of 31 fraternities in intramural sports by the end of Spring 2015. In the future, Delta Chi is looking to continue our competitiveness and improve our ranking to place in the top 3.
Although many of our teams are competitive, our brothers understand the purpose of playing intramural sports is to have fun and to strengthen our bond. For this reason, Delta Chi also participates in “C league” sports, which are teams made up of people who care less about winning/losing and more about the “spirit” of playing. These hilarious games include lots of friendly heckling, people falling down, themed date nights, and post-game snacks.
So whether it’s for fun or for competition, Delta Chi intramural sports have a place for everyone. We realize the value of integrating athletics in our members because playing team sports is a great way to develop communication, sportsmanship, and resiliency skills. When trying to explain why intramural sports is so important to a Fraternity of young men, an Alumnus once said, “Sports are more than just playing a bunch of games. Rather, they're contests for respect, and teams are about competing for something greater than any single individual."
