delta tau delta DELTA TAU DELTA was founded in the spring of 1858 at Bethany College, in West Virginia. The motto, badge, and constitution were finally adopted the following year. Union with the Rainbow Society of the W.W.W. fraternity in 1866 began the expansion that has resulted in a total organization of seventy- four active chapters and an alumni membership of over 30,000. The Lehigh chapter, Beta Lambda, was founded in 1874. For forty years it occupied houses in town, but in 19 14 it established a house on the campus, the second fraternity to do so. Of the campus activities, Mustard and Cheese is one of the most popular with the Delts. At the present time members hold the offices of president, stage manager, electrical manager, and technical manager. The copy supervisor and the circulation manager of the Brown and White are Delts, as is the advertising manager of the Bachelor. Members of Delta Tau Delta have been elected to several honoraries, being members of Pi Tau Sigma, Alpha Kappa Psi, New- tonian Society, and Cyanide. The president of Arcadia, the president of the Junior Class, and a member of Omicron Delta Kappa are members. Football, track, baseball, and cross country have awarded letters to Delts during the past year. A Delt is vice president of Pi Delta Epsilon, and another member of the chapter is a member of the intercollegiate debating team. The house has also received awards in intramural sports. Part of Delta Tau Delta ' s social program is the annual Christmas party. In addition, the house holds exchange dinners with the Delta Tau Delta chapter at Lafayette. The chapter, with about forty members, is one of the largest fraternities at Lehigh. IN THE PICTURE: Back Row: W. E. Belser, ' 44 ; M. K. Barrett, Jr., ' 44; D. R. Diggs, ' 45; B. W. Thayer, ' 44; R.
