THE DELTA TAU DELTA 2024 ORAL HISTORY PROJECT
About This Project
Every Delt has a story, and our brotherhood wants to hear yours!
The Oral History Project will collect the stories of alumni in their own words. These stories will be preserved in a book that celebrates the impact Delta Tau Delta has had on your life and who you are today.
As part of this project, we want to learn more about our alumni and make it easier for you to stay connected to Delta Tau Delta. We’ve partnered with industry leader PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts) to help us collect updated contact information from members who have moved, switched email addresses, or landed a new job.
What story will you share? A memory with a lifelong brother? Did a brother have a profound impact on your life? Can you trace your career path back to a defining moment in Delta Tau Delta — at an event, or in a role you served in? Were you in Delta Tau Delta during a historical moment?
Whatever your story is, we can’t wait to hear from you!
About PCI
Telling the stories of our Delta Tau Delta alumni is a large project, so we could not do it alone. By partnering with PCI, we can work with their trained staff of real, live people who are excited to listen to your story. PCI will collect and assemble the stories into a Delta Tau Delta Oral History book.
Please note: We have only shared your contact information with PCI in conjunction with this project. We have not sold your contact information or used it for outside marketing purposes.
