At-large representatives


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:
  1. It was reduced to 12 members from 16.
  2. There are eight districts instead of the previous 16.
  3. 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.
