The Xi Deuteron Charge began life in 1908 as the Chalet Club at the University of Washington, because several men did not find what they were looking for in any of the other fraternities on the campus. On January 4, 1913 they were Chartered as the Xi Deuteron Charge of Theta Delta Chi. In 1916 the Charge house was constructed on the site of the present Xi Deut house and held 25 men. After numerous renovations, the house was expanded from its original capacity to its current capacity of more than 60 brothers. The most recent renovation of the house was completed in 2019. Xi Deuteron has been a consistent award winner having been awarded the Victory Cup 3 times and the President’s Cup 15 times.

COVID had a major impact on all of our Charges, but Xi Deuteron worked hard to overcome those challenges. Prior to COVID, Xi Deuteron had a very robust Bros. UniteD program which was highly respected on their campus. Because of COVID, the Charge realized they were not able to continue as they had in the past, so they conducted a Bros. Outdoors program which was a social media campaign to raise awareness of Autism and their Bros. UniteD program and to also raise money in anticipation of the return of Bros. UniteD. Fall term 2021. This coming fall they will be conducting a weeklong philanthropy project to support their Bros. UniteD program, while also participating in many other Greek organization’s philanthropies.

Xi Deuteron counts several varsity athletes among the brotherhood. One of the brothers skates for the UW Hockey team and the entire Charge frequently attends games as a group. Another brother plays Rugby for the University and, as expected, the Charge turns out to support him also.

Prior to COVID the Charge was actively involved in the Special Olympics volunteer service. They also participated in a housing for the homeless program, Sound Foundations NW. During COVID they conducted a grounds cleanup around the entire Greek community during MLK Day.

The Charge currently has approximately 65 undergraduate active members on its roster. Their goals for the coming year include, focusing on academics and bringing grades back up to pre-COVID levels along with recruiting a 30+ man new member class in the fall.
