Purdue agricultural fraternity Delta Theta Sigma
(DTS) teams up with a sorority each fall for the Jack-O-Lantern
Jog to raise funds for a scholarship that benefits Purdue students
who have had a parent severely injured in a farming-related accident.
“In the past we have worked in partnership
with Sigma Alpha. sorority to put on this walk-a-thon every year
in the fall,” says DTS president Matt Roberts, a junior in
agricultural systems management and farm management from Syracuse,
Ind. “Of all the events that we do, it’s one of our
favorites.” DTS also gets together with another sorority,
Delta Delta Delta, for Frats at Bat to raise money for children’s
cancer research.
When they’re not working on a philanthropy
project or hitting the books at chapter-sponsored study tables,
the 14 fraternity brothers spend time with DTS alumni, who are frequent
visitors to the chapter house. Purdue’s last home football
game of the season also draws brothers back to campus and DTS. Alumni
are currently conducting a fund-raising campaign to purchase the
DTS house.
The DTS chapter has been on the Purdue campus
since 1982.
