    Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Is Adopt-A-School Delta Tau Delta’s Philanthropy?

Answer: No. Adopt-A-School is Delta Tau Delta’s national community service program. Strengthening community is essential to our vitality. We strongly believe that the best way to strengthen a community is through actual hands-on service. Anyone can give money to a cause, and we encourage our chapters to raise money for philanthropies – but more importantly we should be making a direct impact to our communities through actual service.

Question: Since Adopt-A-School isn’t our philanthropy, what should we do?

Answer: You should participate in community service and start an Adopt-A-School program with your chapter! If working with a local school isn’t an option for your chapter, there are other ways that you can still participate with this program. Some chapters work with after school programs at the YMCA or at a local community center. The main idea is that we are creating partnerships with the community and providing positive male role models for people.

Question: If we do Adopt-A-School can we still raise money for a philanthropy?

Answer: Yes. Many chapters raise money for their local community schools and YMCA’s as their philanthropy to help them buy computers, playground equipment, and fund fieldtrips for learning.

Question: What about Bleed Purple? Is that still a philanthropy supported by Delta Tau Delta?

Answer: Yes. Delta Tau Delta still encourages it’s chapters to raise money for The Bleed Purple Foundation. While Bleed Purple is not an official philanthropy of the Fraternity, we encourage our members to support this cause. For more information go to Bleed Purple’s website: http://www.bleedpurple.org
