Message from the President
Sean Thompson

Brothers,

For those of you that don’t know me, I am Sean Thompson a second semester sophomore in astrophysics. The part of the semester that has already passed has been one of great experiences and learning lessons for the chapter. As a chapter we are on the rise of experiencing something new, becoming better men than we were the day before, and growing skills that will help impact the chapter as well as the fraternity for the better. The men of this chapter are embodying what it means to be a Delt living their lives through Truth, Courage, Faith, and Power. When you are out in your daily lives remember what it is that makes delt a delt which are the four fundamental principles of Truth, Courage, Faith, and Power; Let these four fundamental principles guide you towards your success.

Have a blessed day.

2016 Northern Division Conference

This year the Southern Division Conference took place in Charleston, S.C. from 11th to 14th. “Rise” is the theme for the 2016 Division Conferences. Conference programming is devoted to the Fraternity’s best tool to measure excellence—the FAAR.  While the FAAR is used to help determine awards, its use goes beyond just achievement. Conference programming will focus on how to use the FAAR as a planning tool for the entire school year.

"

For me it was not a choice between fraternities, but rather the Fraternity that embodied everything I already had sewn into my song. Written prior to our own works, our destiny is carved with the pieces of our life and shaping back along an axis with the personal knowledge that they will connect with all things according to their own. I believe that I was to be a Delta Tau Delta Brother before I or anybody else could even see it. My heart overflows as it is more than just an honor and a privilege, it is a blessing and a challenge not only to myself but to my brothers whom lift each other up and ate to be lifted.

Alumni Spotlight
Rian Mehta

I joined Delta Tau Delta because I saw it as the organization that could help me be the man I wanted to be. The Fraternity along with certain special people in my life are the things that help me strive to be the best version of myself. Delta Tau Delta has taught me so many life lessons and continues to teach me something new every day as an alumnus and as a chapter advisor. The values it has instilled in me resonate in my everyday life and in my relationships with brothers, friends and the ones I love. I am and always will be proud to be a Delt.

Last year, on our school’s 5 star program, we had 501.875(out of 580) be the best chapter on campus. And also here is a list for awards we won in Greek Life Community.
