I have read the history that Betarulz and Deltalum are talking about. I wish I had it on hand right this moment so I could quote it exactly.

One source I do have on hand is from a 1930's addition of The Beta Book. It mentions that 5 men initiated into Beta had been members of a local organization by the name of Delta Tau Delta. Of the five (J.D. Lowe, J.L.N. Hunt, William R. Cunningham, Thomas T. Holtan, and Benjamin S. Keene) two resigned so they could be counted as founders of DTD. Those two being Cunningham and Lowe.

The other source that I can't not find at this particular moment goes into that a bit further and mentions about a later fiasco at a DTD Founders dinner. Basically the other three members were some how included in the founders roles but they did not know about that distinction. Instead they made it clear that they were members of Beta.
