Being a part of a fraternity may seem like a lot of work, but like any worthwhile activity, it requires an investment of one’s time. Through our fraternity, you learn how to balance campus involvement, academics, and social life. While each fraternity has its own strengths and weaknesses, we strive on the development of each person’s character, social skills, lifelong friendships, service to the community, and academic achievement. It cannot be stressed enough, but each person should seek the fraternity that best fits your personality and needs. It is our goal to make our fraternity your fraternity. At Delta Tau Delta, it is our goal to make your college experience a memorable one. Academics, athletics, brotherhood, philanthropy, and social life are important aspects of all Delts that make us leaders on campus. It is also important that you find the right fraternity for you, so Delta Tau Delta encourages you to take the time to see what our fraternity has to offer. Academics are a vital part of any fraternity, Delta Tau Delta being no different. In order to be initiated, each new member must meet an academic requirement of a 2.25 GPA. With a study room, a variety of majors within the house, brothers who are paid as tutors by the school in the writing lab will take a look at your paper for you. Delta Tau Delta provides everything you need to be successful with your classes. Our house prides themselves for the grades we get. We have won grades amounbg all Westminster fraternities for 23 of the last 25 semesters. We know that college is a short period of a person's life but it is a very important part of your life that can lead to success and that is what our house wants for every member and by working together we can do it. Delts encourage personal growth by participating and running programs in the local community and national non-profit organizations. Delts have been a very strong service force in the community and at school. The Delts host blood drives, Adopt-A-Highway, help raise money for United Way, St Jude's Hospital, Special Neighbors, and CARD-V. We also have helped the local community by assisting SERVE, Haven House, Soup Kitchen, Into the Streets, Habitat for Humanity, Rake & Run, Fulton Pride, Little Brother and Little Sister Program. This year we took part in the first annual Bleed Purple week. This week we held several events that encouraged other greek organizations from Westminster and William Woods. Through the hard work that all put into the week we raised over $1300 for the organization. We find the time to do all these activities as a group through our Service-of-the-Week Program, commonly referred to as Service Saturday. Every week, the house tries to find a way to give back to our community. By this time, you probably think that our fraternity is all work and no play. Believe me, Delts know how to party. Our philosophy is that if you work hard during the week, then the amount of hard work should equal the amount of fun you should have during the weekend. We have many annual parties, including Delta Force, Foam Party, Junkyard Bash, Heart On Party, Mardi Graw, Delta Queen; and these are just our big ones. Delta Tau Delta is against hazing and does not practice hazing due to its detrimental effect on the brotherhood of the house. We believe that forcing uniniated members to do activities that will ridicule them does nothing to strengthen the person or the house. Instead, we are committed to new member education, which consists of teaching the uninitiated members the expectations they will face as an active brother, developing their leadership, and building the bonds of friendship into the brotherhood. New members meet each week with the Pledge Educator to learn about the fraternity and the school. We make the effort to ease the transition from high school to college. We are not here to make the uninitiated members prove themselves to us by holding them to a higher standards than ourselves. We are here to develop the qualities we identified when we asked them to join the house and challenge them to grow as a person. That is the Delt's Commitment to Excellence. Our fraternity is self-supported by our members. The total cost per semester is about $2750 to cover room and board. Our price is cheaper than living at the school’s dorms and eating at their cafeteria. |
