    Delta Tau Delta-Theta Kappa chartered October 16, 1993. Following the chartering we have won many Court of Honor awards (Top 20 Delt Chapters) and 3 Hugh Shields awards (Top 10 Delt Chapters). Delta Tau Delta has been active on and off campus, including our National community service project Adopt-A-School. With this project we have adopted Meadowlark Elementary School and provide them with tutors, mentors, and general help every day. Our National philanthropy is Bleed Purple and the money we raise helps college students diagnosed with cancer pay for treatment and medicine. To raise this money we hold our annual "Delt Sand Volleyball Tournament" every fall.

    AcademicsDelta Tau Delta consistently ranks among the top of all Fraternities with regards to academics. For the last 5 years, Delta Tau Delta has found itself either at the top or near the top in terms of GPA. Our current GPA of 2.95 places us near the top. Even more impressive is that our recent colony GPA is 3.25.Values Based OrganizationDelta Tau Delta is a value driven organization, and we strive to make all of our decisions based on our mission and values. Our members live by the principles of integrity, accountability, truth and courage. Building a fraternity around these values sets forth the expectations for how the fraternity will run and the behavior in the fraternity. Bringing these values into our Brotherhood allow for personal and organizational accountability and overall excellence.Leadership AcademyThe academy is a personal development process based on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. This process is not designed to create better presidents or recruitment chairman, but to offer our undergraduates the opportunity to assess their personal skills, strengths and weaknesses; so that they may better prepare themselves for their future. Recently added to our leadership development opportunities is an experimental process that takes place in the Rocky Mountains, and another on the North Atlantic off the coast of Maine. The purpose of this expedition is to provide the basics of outdoor leadership including basic communication and leadership skills. Who is a Delt?Join the ranks of thousands of Delts.
