History
Richmond Attorney W. Joseph Joiner and transfer student Brian Bellairs (Georgetown, 1978) started the colony at Eastern Kentucky, which was recognized by the interfraternity council in the spring of 1981. After one semester, the colony had a membership of twenty-three and had the second highest grade point average among the campus fraternities. Maintaining its high grades, the colony became involved in philanthropic, social, and athletic activities at Eastern Kentucky and reached a membership of thirty one, which completed its set of chartering requirements. The Delta Rho charter was presented in the university's Powell Building on April 18, 1982. Past President Edward A. (Ted) Marye gave the principal address, and Executive Director John Meyerhoff passed the charter to Chapter President Doug Lefler. Capt. James Hardin (Mississippi, 1970) who had served as faculty advisor to the colony, received recognition for his help.
