In February of 1967, a Crescent Colony of Delta Tau Delta was established at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, replacing the Beta Delta Epsilon local fraternity. On Saturday, November 23, 1968, the Epsilon Upsilon Chapter of Delta Tau Delta International Fraternity was established at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ—the Fraternity’s 101st Chapter. Among the Delts helping to install the Chapter and initiate the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Delts was Marietta native Robert Ferguson ’71 of Gamma Xi, who later became the Marietta Delt Chapter Advisor, and is still advising even today.
Since 1855, there have been a total of nine men’s fraternity chapters established at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ. Although the Delt chapter is the youngest of these, the Delts are the only one to remain in continuous operation since installation. Over 400 À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ men have been initiated as Delts since 1968. Delta Tau Delta is the place for leaders to hone their skills, youths to grow, students to find support and guidance, and men to find their paths to a life of excellence.

Joining Greek life at Marietta has allowed me to grow as a leader and offer me a home away from home. Since joining Greek Life I have been fortunate enough to gain valuable leadership experience, meet new friends and further my professional career through our alumni network which I was able to use to secure an internship after my sophomore year.
— Michael Doran - Former Chapter President
My experience with À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Greek Life has fully exceeded any expectation I could have had. Through opportunities on campus within my chapter and InterFraternity Council’s executive board, as well as national workshop and conferences, I was able to really cultivate my leadership skills in a short period of time. I can say with the utmost certainty that my college career would not be the same without Greek life and I would not change that for the world.
