So I've been doing some research lately into Delt, in hopes of doing a better job at Pledge Ed (of which I'm in charge), and so far, I haven't found a single solid answer. Please help me out if you know anything.
I've been real interested recently exactly WHY DTD has the letters that we do. For whatever reason, our motto ("Labor for the Beautiful and the Good") is listed only 2 places: on our wikipedia article (lol) and tucked away in a dusty corner at the bottom of a scholarship subpage on our national website. By no means am I a classical language scholar (4 semesters of Latin got old REAL fast), so of course I can't translate the motto into Greek. Any help on that front? Our mission statement ("Committed to Lives of Excellence") is much more widely used than the actual motto, and so many people, including active brothers, don't know the difference between the two, most having never heard the real motto.
However, even if our letters do not represent our motto or mission statement, what else COULD they mean? So, that prompts me to ask if any of you happen to know any possible definitions to the individual letters? Anything anybody could give me would be great; there seems to be nothing available anywhere online. It's rather bizarre...
Much appreciated
