Our Fraternity is a social learning community. We seek to philosophically and academically challenge our members to help them reach to their full potential as the next generation of community leaders. Not only do we hold the expectation that our members will utilize the resources of our Fraternity, but they will act within our college-centered chapter philosophy. We expect that our members will utilize the services available to them within the campus community. This translates to our members becoming engaged in the campus community and the academic learning culture. We ensure that our members are active in the calendar of the college experience through co-sponsorship and advocacy of cultural and academic opportunities or through use of the career center, health and wellness services, and the various academic support services. It is through our support of a college-centered chapter that we have high academic standards. Tau Delta Phi has exposed these values for almost 100 years since 1910 and believes that we will continue to offer meaningful life long membership and experiences for our members into the next 100 years.
Our fraternity is a brotherhood. A college fraternity is such an organization with its membership chosen solely from university tudents. Tau Delta Phi Fraternity is a college-centered social fraternity — the national designation accruing to it by virtue of its having many chartered chapters at colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. Fraternity life compliment the academic education of its brothers through life in a chapter, which is a melting pot of backgrounds, environment, and personalities.
From these experiences evolves an individual well able to establish his place in society and in his chosen business or profession. The qualities and abilities that are stressed and recognized in undergraduate days are essential throughout life. Fraternities have made positive contributions to the development and growth of its brothers — learning to live in a group; tolerance, understanding, and respect for the dignity of other human beings; and the desire to assume responsibility in each stage of his life. In undergraduate days, stress is also laid on proper scholarship, social relationships, leadership and extra-curricular activities on campus and within the chapter.
Tau Delta Phi is an organization bonded together through loyalty and dedication. Our Fraternity is a national fraternity which adheres to and follows the guidelines of the North American Interfraternity Conference, of which it is a member in good standing. Our members are not only a part of their own chapter and the Tau Delta Phi Grand Chapter but of the Greek community as a whole.
