ASU is a university that has more than 70,000 students, and only 22 fraternity chapters with an average of around 60 people per chapter that makes it around 1 percent of the student population. But even though it’s such a small percent of the student body it by far it the most talked about part of ASU. But not all of the fraternities are the same; most support the idea of mindless drinking and partying with no rules other than listen to the older guys. Delta Tau Delta is a fraternity that is different from the rest. Delta Tau Delta is a fraternity that I am proud to be a part of.

Adam Graf the president of the ASU chapter : “We pride ourselves in our class, etiquette, and GPA.  Being a Delt isn’t like being a member of any other fraternity”.

Delta Tau Delta’s importance to ASU relies on its effect on its members. The members are the ones that make the difference at ASU, Delta Tau Delta is just a platform that its members build off of giving them the best base which is the fraternities ideology, and with the help of your fellow brothers Delta Tau Delta helps make ASU and the world better by producing more men that are gentlemen. Delta Tau Delta is partnered with an organization called JDRF or Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation that helps give money to that charity to help find a cure for juvenile diabetes. So that is another way Delta Tau Delta is helping change not just ASU but the world. Being a Delt every member promises to be a part of a program outside the fraternity, we have member in originations all across ASU from sports teams to clubs. We pride ourselves in being above and beyond students who are involved in programs at school and who also love to have fun but only as a reward for our achievements.  These are the many ways that Delta Tau Delta shows its importance to ASU because its members also are involved in the ASU community making us not just frat guys but a group of people who invest their “Time and Talents” to go above and beyond other fraternities and display what it means to be a Delt.

David Rees an active Delt at ASU: “Our importance to ASU comes from how we change young men from average to extraordinary. Our ideology and are beliefs are what makes us different. Being a Delt means being living as an example of something that is greater than you. You’re a part of something that has been around for more than 100 years and your goal in college is that whenever you graduate and leave, that your fraternity and your school is better than when you got there”

So Delta Tau Delta promotes change for the better, and that is our importance to ASU outside of its members but for the betterment of ASU as a school because ASU means as much to us as being a Delt, so we try to leave it better than we found it and that’s what separates us from the rest.
