The University of South Dakota’s Delta Gamma chapter of Delta Tau Delta has been established since 1924 and the mission and values within the Fraternity are a public representation of our core values contained within our Ritual. Our mission is simple but straightforward, "Committed to Lives of Excellence." Our members should be committed to living lives that reflect themselves, the Fraternity and every part of their being to a level of excellence. We as a Fraternity are dedicated to helping men achieve this level of excellence in their own lives.The four fundamental principles of Delta Tau Delta are Truth, Courage, Faith, and Power.
