History
Named in honor of Supreme Court Justice Thomas C. Clark (University of Texas at Austin, 1922), the Clark Alumni Council provides meaningful volunteer opportunities at a national level through the Delta Tau Delta Educational Foundation. Known as "The Man with the Bow Tie," Brother Clark's favorite expression was "Once a Delt, always a Delt." Clark was also the one to start the Fraternity's Undergraduate Council, giving undergrads a seat at the table during critical discussions impacting the Fraternity's future. It's no surprise that as the 28th president of the Fraternity, Clark's primary goal was to develop an even closer relationship among graduates, alumni and the Arch Chapter. The Clark Alumni Council embodies that sentiment by engaging Delts and strengthening personal and professional networks on a national level in the years following graduation to uphold a lifelong commitment to Delta Tau Delta.
