UGC members named
International President Carl Brantley announced the
12 men chosen to serve on the Undergraduate
Council during 2006. By vote of the 2004
Karnea, the UGC underwent three major changes
prior to this year:
- It was reduced to 12 members from 16.
- There are eight districts instead of the previous
16.
- The president of the Fraternity, with counsel from
the five division presidents, picked four at-large
representatives.
The UGC serves as the voice for Delta Tau Delta
undergraduate members and votes during
Arch Chapter meetings concerning changes to the
Fraternity's bylaws. If the majority of the UGC
opposes a change, then all undergraduate chapters
vote for or against the proposal with the majority of
the chapters' decisions binding.
The Undergraduate Council next convenes at the
Arch Chapter meeting January 26-28 in Indianapolis.
The following are the 12 members of the
Undergraduate Council.
