Delta Tau Delta (ΔΤΔ)

Delta Tau Delta – Theta Zeta Chapter was founded at the University of San Diego in 1988 as the second fraternity established on campus. Since then, the chapter has cultivated a strong, close-knit brotherhood where members engage in club sports, athletics, and leadership opportunities, building lifelong friendships along the way. Guided by the core values of Truth, Courage, Faith, and Power, the brothers of Delta Tau Delta are united by a shared mission: “Committed to Lives of Excellence.” Through brotherhood, social events, and mentorship, the chapter empowers its members with confidence and strong character.

Delta Tau Delta belongs to the Interfraternity Council and participates in IFC recruitment during both the fall and spring semesters. Follow them on Instagram to stay connected.
