Strengthening the Community is Essential to our Vitality is found within the Delta Tau Delta Mission and Values. By holding true to our Mission and Values Delta Tau Delta is able to Live Lives of Excellence. A prime example of Delt holding true to its Mission and Values is by looking at our involvement in activities which really do Strengthen our Community. Delta Tau Delta is an active organization on this campus and with in the Greek Community. While not only hosting a Philanthropy ourselves, Delt also participates in several Sororities’ Philanthropy throughout the academic year.

Most recently the men of Delta Tau Delta participated in the Kappa Delta Wingman. The Philanthropy, which started on Sunday March 8th lasted until Saturday March 14th consists of several different activities and contests. The first activity was a Spaghetti Dinner hosted by the ladies of Kappa Delta where 70% of the Chapter goes and enjoys all you can eat spaghetti. To help advertise awareness about the philanthropy one of the contests involves creating a banner to display the beneficiaries for the philanthropy. Few days later in the week is the serenade. This consists of a skit and some music followed by a short remark from the king candidate (another activity in the philanthropy) and of course a gift of flowers. Lastly comes the actual “Wingman” competition. Wingman consist of several contests involving buffalo wings and buffalo sauce. These events range from a Sauce Bong, where contestants drink buffalo sauce as fast as possible, to Wing on String where they eat a wing off a string using no hands.

Philanthropies like Wingman and others are great way to actively help our community in a fun and effective way. It is a chance to represent our letters with pride and earn bragging rights within our Greek Community. Oh and did we mention we won the Wingman Competition!!

Across the nation members of Delta Tau Delta work to inspire the youth of tomorrow, and the men of Delta Tau Delta in Columbia are no different. Unlike Philantrophy events ranging in duration from a day to about a week, the Adopt-A-School program continues through the duration of the school year. Throughout every school week, the Missouri Delts have around 4 to 5 members go to Grant Elementary and participate in activities during recess with the Grant students. Activities include anything from soccer to four-square. In playing and interacting with the students the hope is to create a positive influence and help guide the students down a successful path.

Over 150 campuses across the nation participate in the Adopt-A-School program either through their Interfraternal Councils, Chapters, or other organizations. While Adopt-A-School is a national program, its strength is in its effectiveness on the local level. By participating an organization, such as Delta Tau Delta, is able to successful give back and impact their community in a positive way impacting generations to come.

Big Brothers

The Gentlemen of Delta Tau Delta recently had several members apply for the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program of Central Missouri located in Columbia. Seeing the enthusiasm of the House even inspired their House Mother to join in. Members of the house signed up on there own accord to show support for the Columbia community and help guide its youth in the right direction.

Each Big Brother will have one Little Brother. Participants will be spending one hour each week at school with their Little Brothers. In that hour Big Brothers will spend time with their Little Brothers playing games, eating lunch, helping out on some homework or even sitting and just having a brother-to-brother talk.

The program is always looking for new members but is currently in a special need for Big Brothers. The one-hour a week spent with these children does influence their lives in a positive way. Members of Delta Tau Delta hope more good mentors will choose to sign up and help the positive education of our community’s youth and inspire them in to their maturity.
