THE FIRST
130 YEARS
S
ince our founding in 1890, the Beta Omicron
Chapter has been the defining experience for more
than 1,600 brothers at Cornell University. Many
of our alumni have graduated and gone on to successful
and distinguished careers, all the while maintaining the
lifelong bonds of brotherhood. Beta Omicron Delts are
always there for each other in the best and worst times, for
the highest of heights and lowest of lows—and each time
we are reunited, no matter how long it has been, no matter
what form it takes, it feels like yesterday.
Almost all of us can trace the roots of our success to the
same place: the Delt Shelter.
Our Shelter was the focus of our Delt undergraduate
life. It has been home for hundreds of young men where
our brothers have learned and lived the values of Truth,
Courage, Faith, and Power and built bonds to last a lifetime.
However, for Delta Tau Delta to remain competitive at
Cornell, we must ensure we are providing a modern,
attractive, and competitive 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.

"Many of my best long-term friendships began at the Delt house at
Cornell. A core group of us have stayed in touch and gotten together
regularly for decades. Until now, the chapter has never asked us for
anything, but after 55 years of heavy use the need for serious renovation
of the Shelter is obvious, and I'm happy to help out." -Bill Cochran '70
