We raise thousands of dollars for charities, we volunteer at University Hospitals and the Great Lakes Science Center, we participate in almost every other philanthropic event on campus, we bring hundreds of meals every week to homeless shelters, we alter toys so that they can be used by handicapped children, we give blood, we clean up parks. We do all of this because we are thankful to have been blessed with all that we have.

WE ARE DELTS.

Our Heritage

Delta Tau Delta was founded in 1858 at Bethany College in present day West Virginia. Eight men, angered by a fixed vote for a prize in oratory to be given at the Neotrophian Literary Society (a forum for students to practice and demonstrate skills in poetry, public speaking and writing essays), responded by forming a secret society. The purpose of the new society, known only by the Greek letters Delta Tau Delta, was to see the Neotrophian Society returned to popular control.

Delta Tau Delta was born of the knowledge that integrity is essential. The founding principles of Truth, Courage, Faith and Power have provided a guide for both the Fraternity and its membership.

Since 1858 the Fraternity has spread to nearly 200 campuses with over 115 active chapters and colonies comprised of about 6,000 undergraduate members. Just shy of 150 years, Delta Tau Delta has in excess of 145,000 men who have become members of the Fraternity.
