The Last 128 Years

ince our founding in 1890, the Beta Omicron Chapter has been the
defining experience for more than 1,600 men at Cornell University.
Many of our alumni have graduated to successful and distinguished
careers, and we have maintained lifelong bonds with our Beta Omicron
brothers. Delts are there for each other in the best and worst times. When
we are reunited, no matter how long it has been, it feels like yesterday.
Most of us can trace the roots of our success to one place: the Delt Shelter.
Our Shelter is the focus of Delt undergraduate life. It has been home for
hundreds of young men and a classroom where our brothers have learned
the values of Truth, Courage, Faith, and Power. However, for Delta Tau
Delta to remain competitive at Cornell, we must ensure we are providing
a modern facility. In the following pages, you will find Beta Omicron's
strategic plan to ensure Delta Tau Delta is the recognized standard of
excellence among all fraternities at Cornell.

"The account of the establishment
of our new chapter, Beta Omicron,
at Cornell University, will be
read by Deltas everywhere with
unmixed satisfaction. For some
years Delta Tau Delta has been
ambitious to place a chapter at this
great institution, but her ambition
has not led her to take any hasty or
inadvisable steps. In an institution
of the size of Cornell, it is not
a difficult matter to establish a
chapter, so far as finding men
to make the chapter, goes. But It was not merely the name of
Cornell upon our college chapter list that we wanted; we could
have had that long ago. We shall not stop to elaborate upon
what we wanted all these years. The whole thing in a nutshell,
is: we found what we wanted, and it is ours. We are proud to
enter Cornell, and proud of the men who represent Delta Tau
Delta there. Their energy, enthusiasm and loyalty are worthy
of imitation by any chapter. The whole atmosphere of Cornell
is charged with the spirit of energy and progress and we shall
look for great things from the long life and success that we wish
Beta Omicron."
