Ten women founded Tau Delta Sorority as the Tomo Dachi Club at Otterbein College in 1915. Greek life was forbidden at the time, so literary clubs were formed using names unique to each organization, with most retaining their original club name in some form to this day. Tomo Dachi became Tau Delta in 1921, when the ban on Greeks was lifted. Due to changing culture and declines in enrollment, the number of chapters and size of chapters fluxuated over the years, and Tau Delta was no exception. The sorority went inactive several times, but was sucessfully refounded in 1989 by 5 awesome women (hey, I'm biased). The sorority as it exists today is the product of this refounding, backed by the spirit of our 1915 start and 1921 founding.
We are thrilled to be celebrating 85 years of sisterhood this fall!
