About Gamma Pi
On July 17, 1875, the Omega Chapter of Delta Tau Delta became the first Greek chapter established on the Iowa State University campus. After University President Beardshear banned fraternities in 1891, Delta Tau Delta went underground and was known as the Hawkeye Club. After the ban was lifted it did not take long before the Hawkeye Club was installed as the Gamma Pi Chapter of Delta Tau Delta on November 4, 1911. Ever since opening the door for others, Delta Tau Delta has been a strong leader on the Iowa State campus. Through participation in Greek events, philanthropies, and social events, Delts strive to be "committed to lives of excellence".
