NETWORKING
Delta Theta Sigma has over eleven hundred alumni, including numerous faculty members at Penn State. This means a lot of the faculty is willing to go the extra mile for our brothers since they are not only our teachers, but also our friends outside of the classroom.
Beta chapter alumni return to the house often, thus enabling them to remain in contact with the active brothers and continually support the activities of the house. These meetings develop into friendships and valuable business contacts. The alumni are a vital presence in our house and are actively involved in the house’s operation.

A HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Our fraternity house is like your home away from home. As opposed to a dorm room or an apartment, our house actually feels like “home”. When you join Delta Theta Sigma, you become part of a family, where the brothers and little sisters really look out for each other. Elected caterers or an outside cook of our fraternity prepares dinner on weekdays. On occasion, alumni will host dinners for the active members or vice versa to maintain a strong relationship between past and present members. This allows us all to sit down together at meal time and enjoy each other’s company instead of eating out or on-the-go.
