DELTA TAU DELTA
ABOUT US
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. The Mission and Values of our Fraternity are a public version of the private Ritual we hold dear and are the driving force behind the operations of our Fraternity.
DELTA TAU DELTA'S
PRINCIPLES
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 family or your god. Faith also means being loyal and trusting among people. It means knowing people will make correct choices or decisions provided they have the necessary information and they understand the result of their actions.
​
Power begins as inner strength. Power is a combination of talents and inherent abilities and wisdom. Through united individuals, we can do so much more as a brotherhood than we can alone. The power of an organization, when combined with truth, courage and faith leads us into the future and ensures success.
