Founders Hall
Currently you are standing in Founders Hall. Founders Hall is dedicated to the eight founding fathers of our Fraternity who are portrayed on the original oil paintings located on the South wall and lining the staircase. Each was hand painted from original photographs, some which are over 140 years old. Each portrait was given to the Headquarters from different alumni to honor the service of a former international president of the Fraternity.
Above the fire place you will find a vivid depiction of Old Main, which was the primary academic building on the campus of Bethany College. The Fraternity was founded at Bethany College in 1858. Old Main has an important place in Delt history because it hosted the infamous Neotrophian Literary Society meetings; the controversy from these meetings led to the founding of Delta Tau Delta. This rendering of Old Main was given to the fraternity by Duane Cummins, 16th President of Bethany College and member of the Theta Founding chapter.
