June 29, 2010 :: Delta Tau Delta Cheapest Place to Live on Campus!

Baker housing rates were released today, so we decided to compare against what the Delts pay to see how we stack up.  Want to know how we compare?.  See for yourself:

  • DTD is $630 cheaper than a double room in Gessner and $1,980 cheaper than a single room!

  • DTD is $1,550 cheaper than a double room in the new Living Center and $2,230 cheaper than a single room!

  • DTD is $2,480 cheaper than living in the campus apartments!

These costs include all meals and all fees that our members pay throughout the year. We pride ourselves on giving our members the nicest house on campus at the lowest price!

May 24, 2010 :: Chapter Eternal

I have unfortunately sent several messages through the years to let you know that one of our own has passed into our Chapter Eternal.  This is undoubtedly the hardest I have ever written.  It is with great sorrow that I report that Jim “Otto” Selzer ‘70, our long-time brother and friend, passed away late Sunday evening.  Jim had been battling
diabetes for more than 45 years.

Jim was a dedicated member of our fraternity.  Most recently, in 2008, Jim was elected as the 49th International President of Delta Tau Delta.  He was honored by our chapter at STAG on Saturday evening with the dedication of the James O. Selzer formal living room at the Shelter.  Although he wasn’t able to join us, we are so happy to have shared the evening with his wife and family.  There is no doubt that Delta Tau Delta held a special place in the heart of the entire Selzer family.  Jim will be deeply missed by us all.


February 27, 2010 :: Awards from Division Conference

Over the past few days, several undergraduates from Gamma Theta have been attending the Western Plains Division Conference in Houston, TX.  Our chapter has heard its name called several times over the past few days to receive various awards, but none were bigger than the one received this evening.  We are extremely proud to announce that Gamma Theta was awarded the Hugh Shields Award tonight by the DTD International Office.  This is the most prestigious award that can be bestowed upon a chapter of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity.  It is awarded annually to only the top 10 chapters in the country.  We are truly humbled and, needless to say, ecstatic.  This award is truly a recognition of our hard work over the previous year and we're happy to share it with you, our alums.

Oh, and as if the Hugh Shields weren't enough, we also brought home the following hardware:

  • Most Improved Chapter in the Western Plains Conference (for the second year in a row)

  • Court of Honor Award (presented to only the top 20% of all DTD chapters)

  • Excellence in Adopt-a-School Award

  • Excellence in Recruitment Award

  • Recognition of 25% Growth in Recruitment Award

  • Recognition of Meeting or Exceeding Recruitment Goals

  • Outstanding Chapter President Award (Jeff Skillman)

The 2010 Court of Honor and Hugh Shields awards are the 6th and 4th, respectively, in our chapter's history.

Additional information is available in this story from the Baker Orange.
