Academics
The men of Epsilon Mu have prevailed over trying times this last year, and the future looks very bright. We are now ranked third among all male fraternities on campus academically, well above the all men’s and all fraternity average. An extremely solid core group of Brothers leads the Chapter into the Spring 2010 semester. These men, paired with the support of Alumni and a strong recruitment plan, gives the Delta Tau Delta slogan, “Our past is bright, our future is brilliant” new meaning.
Strong academics hold the utmost priority at Delta Tau Delta. We believe that a college man’s primary responsibility is to obtain the best possible education. This unique emphasis on performance in the classroom has resulted in outstanding individual and chapter wide performance.
Delta Tau Delta believes that a student’s academic performance can determine what opportunities will be available to him upon graduation and a serious young man should therefore strive for excellence in education. Consequently, academics are a serious area of endeavor for EPSILON MU chapter.
