ADOPT-A-SCHOOL
What is the
difference between a philanthropy and community service?
Many Greek organizations engage in philanthropy events.
These usually last a day, sometimes up to a week. They
usually involve some fundraising and sometimes involve
making a special one-time trip. But do you get to see the
impact of the work you've done? Do you get to find out how
that money was put to use? What did you actually learn from
the experience? |

Delta Tau Delta
has started to focus on education, literacy, and youth.
After much thought and investigation, the Fraternity chose
Adopt-A-School, an existing program of the National
Interfraternity Conference (NIC). The goal of Adopt-A-School
is to provide for the formation of one-on-one relationships
between college students and elementary school children.
Shrinking school budgets, poor teacher-student ratios, and a
lack of positive role models contribute to the need for a
program such as this.

D.T.A.A. - DELT'S TALK ABOUT ALCOHOL
The program provides recent, accurate, objective and relevant
information which, if used, will greatly reduce
one's risk for alcohol-related problems throughout
life. It is our firm belief that NO ONE can CONTROL
the drinking choices of any individual, but we can
provide the means by which our members and chapters
can reduce their risk. DTAA is not about alcohol
awareness, drinking and driving, or dealing with
alcoholism. Rather, it clarifies and provides an
alcohol abuse prevention guideline to reduce risk.

Delta Tau Delta is taking a leadership position in
the Greek world. It is the first time a program as
intensive as this has been taught to fraternity
chapters at the grass roots level. No one can
promise to eliminate all alcohol-related problems in
any setting. However, there is every reason to
believe that "Delts Talking About Alcohol" offers an
excellent approach to reducing alcohol-related
problems in Delt chapters through education. Your
chapter's part in this program is to help Delta Tau
Delta lead the way in alcohol abuse prevention among
college students.
