Delta Tau Delta largest colony initiation in its history...

From www.delts.org

"Delta Tau Delta celebrated its largest single-day initiation April 16 when the Delta Kappa Chapter was installed at Duke University. Eighty-two men were initiated to officially return the Fraternity to the Durham campus after almost an 11-year absence.

Nearly 300 family, friends, alumni and school administrators attended a banquet Friday which was highlighted by a keynote address from Brother Rick Wagoner. Wagoner, the CEO of General Motors was also one of two fathers who had sons among the new initiates.

The brothers of Delta Kappa Chapter will likely have a chance to perform the initiation rite soon. Eight men who were part of the colonization effort were taking the MCAT exam and were unable to attend the initiation ceremony. Once they are officially brought into the Fraternity, the chapter will be at 90 men with only one scheduled to graduate this spring.

Duke University has 6,522 undergraduate students and only accepts about 10 percent of the students who apply for entrance each year."

The website also has news of the initiation of the (re) colony at UCLA.

Congratulations! When I was at Duke I remember so many people talking about how much they wished the Delts would come back.

And YAY to the continued strength of the greek system at Duke!

Good luck to them and to the new 20-man LXA bunch at NC A&T (A&M?).

The 80 - 90 man group has a great chance at success on a tough campus.

I worry about my GLO's 20-man chapters, and LXA's too.

Haven't seen any pics from Duke, but how about the 53 new initiates in the re-colonized chapter at UCLA which was also initiated recently.
