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.

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.

A college fraternity that is in existence for two reasons: to be hot and ballin' and good at life. This is acheived through the Delt principles of Truth, Courage, Faith, and Power.
Truth: We don't lie to our pledges
Courage: We don't take shit from anyone
Faith: We believe in a higher power
Power: We run the campus
Truth: We don't lie to our pledges
Courage: We don't take shit from anyone

Angela: "Did you hear that 80% of the dudes rushing this semester went Delta Tau Delta?"
Beth: "Sure did, these college freshmen boys are becoming wiser every year when it comes to joing a Greek house!"
Angela: "Yeah, and they know they will get some luvin' from us too."

Gnomes of the garden variety. Known to chase rainbows and sniff pansies while riding unicorns throughout all of Deltland. Sometimes live inside hollowed-out trees (occasionally treehouses) where they bake cookies. Usually the lamest fraternity (or sorority) chapter on whatever campus is ashamed enough to have them. As you would expect to come with their tiny stature, their penises are unusually small. Also referred to as midgets, elves, dwarfs, munchkins, little people, and "small penised freaks."
"Those are some nice garden gnomes you have in your lawn."
"Actually, that's a Delta Tau Delta chapter meeting."
"Makes sense. I don't know why a sculptor would sculpt such small penises."
