OH GOSH THIS TURNED OUT SO MUCH LONGER THAN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE but I couldn't find a way to shorten it…Every word felt so important to me, and I couldn't bear to cut it down myself but if it needs to be cut down I understand!!!
Simply put, Delta Beta Tau is a safe haven for those looking to better not only themselves but also the community at large. When I first came to Delta Beta Tau, I was much like any other burnt-out college student—insecure, emotionally exhausted, and disenchanted by both life's hardships and the indifference of the world around me.
Delta Beta Tau gave me a platform where I could reflect on the kind of person I am, once was, and most importantly, will become. I always knew I wanted to help others but never believed I had the power, or courage, to make a difference. I was full of good intentions with no means of acting on them. This organization allowed me to harness that energy and redirect it in a tangible way.
From community service to mental health awareness, Delta Beta Tau has cultivated a community where empathy for others and a passion for making a difference drives our daily actions. This core value has united us in an irrevocable way, and the intimacy and compassion among members is absolutely unparalleled.
Today, I stand as a stronger, steadier, and far more resilient person than I was before because of these people, and this organization continues to impact others the same each and every day.
