So there are two elements in play here:
1. Delta Sky Club access policy applicable to your specific situation. Some more knowledgeable can opine on Delta's complex and ever-vacillating lounge access policy as I don't have my old college calculus textbooks handy anymore for reference.
2. You need to be able to get to the door of the Sky Club in the first place. As an international arrival at ORD T5, you will proceed through US immigration, collect any checked bags and effectively be dumped curbside as if you had just walked in off the street. Depending on whether you have on onward flight, with which carrier, in which terminal, and whether or not you have checked bags to drop with the onward carrier would determine the practicality and feasibility of being able to get airside to T5 and access the door of the Sky Club.
The ORD Sky Club is beautiful and one of the best in the Delta system...I certainly don't blame you for wanting to try to check it out.
