All Orgs That were founded before 1930/Why I pledged stories

[gratefulDelt]

1858 - Delta Tau Delta is founded at Bethany College in Bethany, Virginia (now West Virginia). Eight undergraduates, angered by a fixed vote for a prize in oratory to be given at the Neotrophian Literary Society – a forum for students to practice and demonstrate skills in poetry, public speaking and writing essays – respond by forming a secret society. The society is to see that the Neotrophian is returned to popular control.

I rushed Delta Tau Delta because of the brothers. I goto a school of 16 Fraternities, and it took me 3 semesters to find a fraternity I liked. After giong around and seeing many of the same stereo-typical Fraternities, it was good to find 60 guys who were extremely diverse. When people look at me, the last thing they think is I'm "one of those fratnerity guys" but I'm glad I found a group of guys who can get over a lot of the pety-ness brought on by fraternities.
