Founded in 2015, Delta Beta Tau is a Buddhist service organization.
Our intention is to foster an accepting and tolerant space where students of all races, genders, sexualities, religions, abilities, and identities come together to build friendships and learn how to practice mindfulness, meditation, and Buddhism in their daily lives. We do this through weekly public meditations, a pledge program, guest speakers, informal discussions, retreats, community service, and other social events.

Our Vision
We are proud to have built the Alpha Chapter of Delta Beta Tau at San Diego State University. We are continuing to develop a national presence and aim to open Delta Beta Tau Chapters around the United States. We believe that college students everywhere in America can benefit from our intention. We are working diligently to ensure long-term sustainability for Delta Beta Tau.
As of January 2025 Delta Beta Tau has initiated 468 Active Members. We have learned a lot since starting DBT in September 2015 and excited for our future.
