In 2003, the sorority became national with the founding of Beta chapter at Tulane University.[1] That was followed by Gamma at Colorado State University and Delta at the University of Texas Rio Grand Valley in 2006.[1] The sorority's membership consists of women from various cultural backgrounds, ethnicities, races, and sexual identities.[5][6][7]
The sorority joined the National Multicultural Greek Council (NMGC) in the fall of 2016.[1][8] As of 2025, Delta Xi Nu has chartered seventeen chapters, along with founding four associate chapters or colonies.[1] Its national headquarters is in College Station, Texas.
