The guys, the privileges, the brotherhood, and to learn some responsibility.

Animal house night, a brilliant way to bond with your pledge class.

I love what we stand for and the brothers here make you feel very comfortable.

Karnea was definitely my favorite memory even though there have been so many.

Joining Delt was the best decision I have ever made in my entire life.  Thanks guys for the opportunity!

I am not sure, I would like to move to California for a couple of years and see what happens.

I choose Delt because I liked all the brothers and I loved that no matter what these guys have got my back.

My favorite Delt story thus far was the giant wrestling match that happened on the second floor of our house. It started with two people, but by the end of the match at least 10 new people joined in on the chaos. It was awesome!

I joined Delt at the University of Cincinnati my freshman year. The guys there were great and the only Fraternity of campus to show interest in me and not just recruiting me for numbers. When I transferred to OWU, the guys here were the exact same. They welcomed me with open arms, and I moved right into the shelter.

I’m thinking about a career in either law or politics. So either working in D.C or law school seems like the natural course of action

It makes me feel like I’m at home. I can be myself and have no worries. I have always lived by her values, so it is a natural fit.

Although many nights were great and there are many to come, Big Little Night at Drew McFarland’s place was my favorite.

I have never been so proud to be part of something (including the Democratic Party) in my life, as I have with Delta Tau Delta. This Brotherhood has shown me how to really live life to the fullest.

After graduation I will more than likely go to graduate school

I chose Delt because of the diversity within the house, the brothers welcoming me allowed me to feel comfortable and meet a wide range of personalities that I feel I would have missed if I had not decided to join.

My favorite Delt story up to this point took place during this past fall's president's dinner, our speaker (who I’m not sure of his ) spoke to us about a time in American history, which I’m sure many of us wish we could forget, he spoke about racism and segregation and how delta Tau delta here at Ohio Wesleyan helped to shape the face of American sports as we know them today. He spoke of brother Branch Rickey, the man directly responsible for breaking the color barrier of league baseball, and bringing Jackie Robinson to the Los Angeles Dodgers. It would be enough to say that brother Rickey’s opinion was shaped from his years here at OWU, but it's even more than that, ( ) spoke of brother Rickey numerous times going to the Delt house, while he was on campus for trustee meetings, and bouncing the idea of bringing a man of color into America’s pastime. Those talks, to me are historical, how many other people can say that their house was influential in changing America’s view of African Americans? I feel honored and proud to say that I am part of the same brotherhood as Mr. Branch Rickey.

It was the one place on campus I felt comfortable being myself.

During Pledging we had a circle walk and every one of the brothers opened up and we were able to see what made everyone tick. This was a remarkable experience and really opened my eyes.

Pursuit of the fields of Mathematics and/or Economics, perhaps at a graduate level, or also going straight into the workforce, depending on potential scholarship opportunities at graduate school.

I went to almost all of the fraternities at OWU as a freshman, but only felt one real connection with the active members. There was more than the partying and free events. There was a special magic at one house, something that I desperately wanted to be a part of. That fraternity was, of course, Delt. It's a tradition I've tried to carry on with upstanding member of each freshman class, doing my best to hand pick the most deserving men, with hopes of fostering a relationship that would one day culminate in the pledge process.

This being public domain, I suppose I should probably keep it clean. I would have to say the Bow Out of Pat Benson, Arjun Bakshi, and Andy Boone was one of the most memorable nights of my life. All forty of us packed into the TV room on the first floor, and you could feel the magic and love in the air. Few times are we given the opportunity to come together as a chapter in such a private, intimate, and free-feeling setting, and the Bow Out ceremony is a prime example of all the reasons to be a Delt. The lifelong friendship that we all share is never made so apparent as at a Bow Out, and this one was more special than most, as we were saying goodbye to three of our brothers halfway through the year--a time which seems to most somewhat untimely. Stories were shared, hearts poured out, and at least a few tears were shed. It will be a night not easily forgotten by anyone in attendance.

Being a wrestler in high school, and coming to a school without wrestling, I was in desperate need for a new focus which would dominate my life. In the past, every single decision I made, everything I did, was based on whether or not it would make me a better wrestler. Now, at Ohio Wesleyan, it seems, more than anything else, that everything I do is based on whether or not it will benefit my brother Delts, or make me a better Delt. It has been an easy shift to make with the help of my brothers, and has given me much needed direction and focus in life. Without Delt, I have nothing.

It’s where I felt the most comfortable. It is not so much a house with the theme, but a house with a wealth of diversity comparable to none at this school.

The feeling after finally getting initiated.

My Mu Brothers know me pretty well...

Delta Tau Delta was the Fraternity that was most welcoming to me and that I felt most comfortable at.  Also I had a good friend encourage me to pledge just after he did.

I think that my favorite stories are better kept to myself but my time here in general has meant the world to me.  I could not have asked for a better place to have ended up during my college career.

I carry a full time job, and serve as the resident contractor and interior design consultant for Mu chapter (take that as you will) PS - Martha ain't got nothin' on me!
