Virginia Tech University — Iota Zeta Chapter

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University officially opened as Virginia's land-grant institution on Oct. 1, 1872.

Originally chartered in December 2002, the Iota Zeta Chapter of Delta Tau Delta has 292 alumni.

University of Central Florida — Zeta Omicron

The University of Central Florida officially began as Florida Technological University on June 10, 1963. Action by the Florida Legislature on Dec. 6, 1978, changed the institution's name. Today, UCF offers more than 220 degree programs in 13 different colleges and boasts one of the country's highest enrollments of undergraduate students. The University’s Interfraternity Council formed four years before Delta Tau Delta established the Zeta Omicron Chapter in 1975. Delta Tau Delta will raise the number of IFC chapters to 13, with currently more than 1,000 members as a council. More than 500 Delt alumni are Zeta Omicron Chapter initiates.

John Carroll University — Iota Iota Chapter

Originally founded under the name St. Ignatius College in 1866, John Carroll University is one of 27 Jesuit colleges in the United States. Today, John Carroll hosts almost 3,000 undergraduate students and offers more than 70 academic programs through the College of Arts and Sciences and the Boler College of Business. The Iota Iota Chapter was founded in 2004 as one of the first fraternities on John Carroll’s campus.

The Fraternity is excited to return to Virginia Tech, Central Florida and JCU in the fall.
