The Delta Tau Delta Investment in Those Who Follow

House in hands

The Loyalty and Centennial Development funds are the endowment funds of the Fraternity. These funds provide mortgage loans to house corporations for chapters acquiring, building or renovating their shelters. The majority of the Fraternity's shelters have received financial assistance at one time or another during their existence from these funds.

Leave the Heat On!

The most troubling part of it is a vast majority of all of the claims reported over the winter are avoidable. While members of your chapter and house corporation are enjoying Thanksgiving, don't neglect the property.
