DELTA TAU DELTA
About Us
Whether coming to college means making new friends, trying out new experiences, preparing for a future career, or just hanging out and having fun, we do our best to provide it all.
At Delta Tau Delta, it's our goal to make our college experience a memorable one, and certainly one without any tolerance for hazing of any kind. Academics, athletics, brotherhood, philanthropy, community service, and social life are important aspects of all college students and especially Delts, which make us well-rounded, successful leaders on campus.
As a newly re-established chapter at Stephen F. Austin, the Delts here have an especially unique opportunity to form a vision that will ultimately shape the future of our fraternity for generations to come. Unlike other fraternities at Stephen F. Austin, the Delts here have only recently returned to the campus, therefore allowing even the newest members of our chapter to have an exciting opportunity to re-shape the fraternity into their own, creating new traditions and events, as well as recapturing old ones from our vast history of existence as an international organization.
Most of our members are involved in other groups on campus as well including: Student Activities Association, Student Government Association, Omicron Delta Kappa, 1923 Society, ResLife, Traditions Council, Jack Camp, Amnesty International, and many others. We also believe that it is important that you find the right fraternity for you, so Delta Tau Delta encourages you to take the time to see what our fraternity has to offer as well as the other fraternities at Stephen F. Austin State University.

The Mission & Values of Delta Tau Delta
The Mission and Values of the Fraternity are a public representation of our core values contained within our Ritual. Our mission is simple but straightforward, "Committed to Lives of Excellence." Our members should be committed to living lives that reflect themselves, the Fraternity and every part of their being to a level of excellence. We as a Fraternity are dedicated to helping men achieve this level of excellence in their own lives.
Truth
is fundamental to any organization, but truth is particularly critical to Delta Tau Delta because honest relationships are mandatory for Brotherhood. Telling the truth to yourself and others is fundamental to your commitment to a life of personal and professional excellence.
Courage
means aggressively taking on challenges and being a leader in the face of adversity. It means caring for the lives of the people around you and understanding that sometimes saying, "No" is a necessary act of responsibility and love for your Brothers and the Fraternity as a whole.
Faith
is a belief in yourself that what you are doing is right. Whether your faith comes from yourself, your parents or your God is up to you. Faith also means being loyal and trusting among people. It means knowing that people will make correct choices and decisions provided they have the necessary information and they understand the consequences of their actions.
Power
is the inherent ability and talents of each member as valuable resources. These qualities and talents give Delta Tau Delta the power and energy to continue looking and moving toward a grand future.
In addition to the four principles of Delta Tau Delta, there are five phrases that complete our system of values
Integrity is Essential
Integrity means doing what you say you will do. Integrity establishes credibility for yourself and the Fraternity, and having it means that others can trust you, believe you, and count on you.
Accountability is Fundamental to all Commitments
Accountability means holding to your promises, making you responsible for both your words and your actions.
Life-long Learning and Growth are Vital
There is no status quo in the pursuit of excellence - you are either moving ahead through continuous growth and learning, or going backwards and slowly narrowing your choices and opportunities in life. There is no point in today's world where one can afford to stop learning and growing.
Strengthening Community is Essential to our Vitality
The pursuit of a life of excellence must occur through constant interactions with many different communities. Therefore, a strong community is vital for your future, as well as the Fraternity's.
Brotherhood Sustains Us
Delta Tau Delta is an organization that relies on Brotherhood to hold us together. Brotherhood involves individual responsibility to one's self and to others.
