Did somebody say social ?
Delta Tau Delta has one of the strongest and most diverse brotherhoods on the entire Purdue campus. As the second largest Greek system in the nation, the Purdue campus embraces a rich tradition of culture, diversity, and social celebration.
One of first original nine fraternities on the Purdue campus, the Gamma Lambda Delts bring to this great legacy a long history of social entertainment, stemming from their days of the Coterie Club and ballroom dancing.
How are Delts different ?
What distinguishes the gentleman of Delta Tau Delta from the rest of the fraternities, sororities, and cooperatives at Purdue? Simple: every active Delt who has pledged this great establishment.
Though the faces you see now might not be famous yet, inside every Delt lives a desire to succeed, to be successful, driven by the quest for a life of long learning. Socially, the great men of Delta Tau Delta are leaders in academics, social affairs, business enterprises, to community involvement.

Is there more ?
The true “college experience”, that is the transition from an adolescent freshman, to that of a college graduate cannot be said, nor explained; it has to be experienced. The same goes for the academic, social, business, and intellectual life of every Delt. This fabric of every Delt's development is just a small piece of the larger, overall, total experience. While one's undergraduate experience only lasts for such a short, finite time, the memories and brotherhood bonds of every Delt are strong, and can be cherished for lifetimes to come.
