Redefining "Fraternity"
through recruitment
Mike Slaughter,
Director of Growth
How often do you take time to consider your
legacy? While some may relegate the word to
retirees, legacy is not a word simply reserved for
our elders. For members of Delta Tau Delta, it is
a calling no matter your age.
Look closely at our Ritual. You will
find immediate and forthright references to the
importance of legacy. A legacy is not built in a
day. It is not a board room decision or even just
one spectacular event upon which a man may hang
his hat. No, a legacy is a carefully constructed,
lovingly woven tapestry of goals achieved and
dreams translated to action. What will your legacy
be? What type of fraternity experience will you
leave for those who follow? Click

Summer Leadership
Recap
Ellen Shertzer, Director of
Leadership Development
Over the past three months, undergraduate and
alumni members participated in a several advanced
Fraternity leadership experiences. The summer
kicked-off with forty chapter presidents and
chapter advisors attending the annual Presidents
and Advisors Retreat at the Central Office in
Fishers, Ind. Twenty-six men spent a week
together on the Schooner Mary Day off the coast of
Maine. Twenty-nine men traveled to Bethany,
W.Va. to walk where the Founder's walked and
relive the birth of the Fraternity. Delta Tau
Delta provided eleven men with the opportunity to
attend the Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute
(UIFI) hosted by the North-American
Interfraternity Conference. Thank you to all
of the students, volunteers and donors who make
these opportunities available to the undergraduate
members.

Changes to Officer
Portal
For those executive committee and
administrative committee members with access to
Officer Portal, you will notice some changes in
the system that will allow you to more effectively
manage your chapter's roster. The Officer Portal
now features the ability to process member status
changes at any time. Alumni volunteers continue to
have access to current membership rosters and
officers for their
chapters. |
