Join Delta Tau Delta for its Summer Start-Up event on May 15-16. Rain or shine, it’s a beautiful day for good deeds. All money raised will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
“JDRF is our national philanthropy, so every Delta Tau Delta chapter at every school raises money for this cause,” said David Crinnion, the fraternity’s philanthropy chairman. “We’ve been supporting them for over 10 years. ”
On May 15, there will be a kickoff party at the fraternity house. Munch on some street tacos, throw someone in a dunk tank, win prizes and enjoy a performance from On The Rocks a cappella group.
Saturday’s activities include a Hawaiian-themed barbecue, a volleyball tournament and an all new tug-of-war competition, as well.
“Anyone and everyone is invited to join us,” said Crinnion.
