Leadership: At Delta Tau Delta we take pride in our involvement on campus. This coming year we have 5 mentors for the Fall 2010 Seminar classes. Last year Delta Tau Delta had 8 senators in SGA as well as the former and current SGA President, Secretary, Speaker, and Assistant Treasurer. 3 members of the fraternity sit on the Finance Committee for Student Government. We also have many members in Student Ambassadors and Student Foundation. Finally, two of our most prestigious members were named to the Skulls of Seven.
Service: Serving the Community is our Vitality. This is an obligation that Delta Tau Delta holds, and we firmly believe that service is an important part of developing as a young man. Every year the members of Delta Tau Delta help in Westminster Service Projects such as Into-the-Streets and Relay-for-Life. A recent graduate of Delta Tau Delta was a founding member of the Westminster Service Corps and many members continue to participate in this organization. Members also volunteer through Habitat for Humanity and have recently started visiting the Fulton Treatment Center to mentor young kids.
Philanthropy: Delta Tau Delta International Fraternity has dedicated itself to the fight against cancer. Bleed Purple Week is our annual, week-long philanthropy event held to promote awareness of cancer and to raise money for research, diagnostics, and treatment.
Athletics: Many members of Delta Tau Delta are NCAA Division III athletes and successfully balance between academics, involvement, and athletics. Members play Football, Soccer, Baseball, Basketball, Golf, and Tennis. Other members also like to compete in athletics through intramurals, and it is also a great way to have fun with friends. Last year we came in second overall in Intramurals with championships in flag football and B team volleyball.
