The following is from www.delts.org -- Visitors -- History of DTD...
"William R. Cunningham, 25, was only a freshman at the time Delta Tau Delta was formed. Because he was older and had become a Mason, however, he exerted much influence in the group. Cunningham, the picture of integrity, was probably responsible for much of the early language in both the Constitution and Ritual. He served as President of the Karnea in 1883. He was also a minister and held public office in the state of Washington."
While it does not specifically say so, it is generally inferred that much of the Delt Ritual has its roots in Masonic tradition.
