Our fraternity has had a long and noteworthy past. Although many of us finished our new member education many years ago, we thought it was time to share a few more fun facts about the history of Delta Tau Delta.
- Founded in 1858, Delta Tau Delta “has survived two world wars, a Great Depression and a great recession, the boom of undergraduates brought on by the G.I. Bill, and the reduction of Fraternity membership following the Vietnam War.”
- There are currently 130 chapters with 10,000 undergraduates and 170,000 initiated men.
- Find a virtual archive to historical documents for Delta Tau Delta here.
- Delta Tau Delta is in the top 25 oldest fraternities in North America.
- Read an extensive writeup by Jon Coit titled Delta Tau Delta: From Upsilon to Beta Upsilon, to John Street and Back, 1872-2000.
