Delts are committed to lives of excellence. Excellence is a pretty broad term, so to bring it back down to earth we think of it as continually striving to improve the quality of our endeavors. To be committed to lives of excellence, we have to both intend and act on our mission.

Part of Delta Tau Delta's foundation is Truth. Truth is fundamental built on values and is a prerequisite to brotherhood. Courage is incorporated into a life of excellence through a Delt's thoughts and actions. It means being a leader in the face of adversity and aggressively taking on challenges. Faith means trust and confidence in God as well as fidelity, loyalty, and honor among men. It is necessary for our stability as a Fraternity and as men. Power, another value woven into the Fraternity's fabric, is the inherent ability, the intellectual strength, and moral superiority that continues to keep us looking as well as moving forward.

Integrity means doing what you say you're going to do. Actions must be consistent with your words and a good Delt lives up to the words he has stated. Integrity allows to establish credibility, as individuals and as a fraternity.

Accountability means keeping your promises and holding yourself responsible for your words and actions as well as holding others responsible for their words and actions. Accountability bonds us together as a group and allows us to depend on one another.

This value deals directly with attitude. If learning is a constant privilege, a process of exploring and expanding your horizons, you will grow immensely you will find your yourself living a satisfying, excellent life.

Strong community is essential to our vitality as individuals and as a fraternity. A life of excellence is not a life lived in a bubble; It is a life spent interacting with those around you, especially our community.

While we all come from diverse backgrounds, cultures, family histories, we are held together by brotherhood. Brotherhood sustains our organization as we interact with one another -- supporting and challenging each other to live a life of excellence.
