Delta Tau Delta was founded in 1858 at Bethany College in present day West Virginia Eight men, angered by a fixed vote for a prize in oratory to be given at the Neotrophian Literary Society (a forum for students to practice and demonstrate skills in poetry, public speaking and writing essays), responded by forming a secret society. The purpose of the new society, known only by the Greek letters Delta Tau Delta, was to see the Neotrophian Society returned to popular control.

Delta Tau Delta was born of the knowledge that integrity is essential. The founding principles of Truth, Courage, Faith and Power have provided a guide for both the Fraternity and its membership.

Since 1858 the Fraternity has spread to nearly 200 campuses with over 115 active chapters and colonies comprised of about 6,000 undergraduate members. Just shy of 150 years, Delta Tau Delta has in excess of 154,000 men who have become members of the Fraternity.

A suburb of Vancouver found at the mouth of the Fraser River in the Fraser Valley. Borders with Richmond and Surrey.

Has in incredibly large East-Indian population (commonly referred to as 'rag-heads'), and is commonly referred to as 'India II' or 'First world India'. Main languages include Punjabi, English, and Hindi.
Don't bother walking down main roads such as Scott Road or 72nd in shorts, even if it's a heat wave, as you'll get nothing but old men checking you out and wolf-whistles.

Was once a promising safe, clean, and family-friendly suburb now on the fast road to turning into a low-end ghetto.

Fraternity that tends to run most campuses. Alumni include Matthew McConaughey, Will Ferrell, John Elway, and many more. Top notch bros who know how to party and carry themselves. Chaying when it's warm is a complete must, as well as broing out on the reg. Don't mess with a Delt, we'll kick your ass and take your girl.
SigChi: Damn, those Delta Tau Deltas really know how to live...I wish they gave me a bid.

SAE: Yeah dude, those Delts have everything locked up tight.

Delta is a name, label, or term used to describe someone who is into you a lot more than you are into them and makes your life miserable emotionally. Most of the time, this is someone you just have a sexual relationship with but they want to marry and have kids with you.
I hooked up with my delta yesterday and now he's sending me a 2-page text because I didn't call him back while I was out with my friends.

Oh, I have a delta now too.
