History
Forty-eight years ago, Delta Epsilon Chi began as the Junior Collegiate Division of DECA Inc. Through a series of name changes that have allowed us to grow our membership by reaching beyond the junior college community; Delta Epsilon Chi now reaches students of technical programs, community college programs and Universities.

Our programs change to meet the ever-developing needs of the business community but our goals remain the same, to provide students with the educational opportunities to practice leadership, develop their professional skills, and prepare to be successful in their careers.
