Initially I was, admittedly, very hesitant to join a fraternity as I was intimidated by the process. However, after six semesters with Delt, I don’t regret my decision to join. I am very grateful for the friends I have met and the memories I have made during my time here. I am happy to say that I’ve been pushed out of my comfort zone in the best ways possible. During the past few years, my brothers have helped me become a better person academically, socially, and emotionally. I will truly miss everyone I have met during my time here, but I look forward to continuing the friendships I made and wish everyone the best of luck post-graduation. After graduation, I plan to go into the Engineering field and work at Pratt Industries in Staten Island.
Joshua (Bram) Cohen '26 Short Hills, NJ B.A. Economics Magna Cum Laude
I was a bit hesitant about joining a fraternity, but Delt quickly proved to be different. There’s a level of authenticity that sets it apart, and I am really glad I took the chance to get to know the brothers better. Being a part of this brotherhood has given me friendships I know will last well beyond college, along with memories I won’t forget. I appreciate everything this chapter has given me and all of you who made it what it is.
Robert “Alec” Constable '26 Madison, Connecticut B.S. Biochemistry Cum Laude
Entering Lafayette freshman year, I thought that there was no way that I would ever be in a fraternity. However looking back at the past three years, I can't imagine it being any other way. Delt has caused me to grow in ways I could have never imagined. The community I found at Delt caused me to step out of my comfort zone, learn how to take risks, and has given me leadership skills that will benefit me for the rest of my life. After graduation, I will be going to Yale University where I will be working in chemical biology and drug development.
Nicholas Daniels '26 Florham Park, NJ B.S. Mechanical Engineering
I am grateful to have called Lafayette College home over the past four years. During that time, I had the opportunity to explore new interests and become involved in a variety of organizations. One experience I will especially value is my time in DTD, where the sense of brotherhood left a lasting impression and continues to be an important part of my life. I will always appreciate the connections, opportunities, and friendships I gained through DTD and throughout my time here.
Paul Hillenmeyer '26 New York, New York B.A. Economics
When I first came to Lafayette College, I wasn’t particularly aware of what Greek Life represented. Coming from France, the idea felt somewhat distant. However, the decision I made to join Delta Tau Delta became an integral shift in shaping the person I am today and who I am continuing to become.
As mentioned, what may seem like a small decision can shape an entire trajectory. That realization didn’t come immediately, but over time it became clear to me that one of the most important lessons I learned from being part of this chapter is decision-making—understanding the weight of the environments we choose, the people we surround ourselves with, and how those choices ultimately define who we become.
First came the decision to choose an environment that felt right to build a home aligned with the ideals I strive to follow. Second came the responsibility that comes with leadership, and the role it plays in strengthening a group and its unity.
Here, I stand thankful for every individual who shaped my experience—welcoming, honest, and courageous in being themselves, while also willing to think critically about the environment we were building together.
The memories are plentiful, marked by both highs and lows. But both are part of the cycle that makes moments truly meaningful. I leave Lafayette guided by the conversations, the challenges that pushed me beyond my comfort zone, and the relationships that continue to shape the path I want to follow.

Looking back on my years at Lafayette it’s hard to believe it’s already over. Every memory, good and bad, has helped me grow as a person and made me into the man I am today. I’m happy I pushed myself to meet new people, get involved in campus activities, and leave my comfort zone. I’m especially grateful to have joined DTD my junior year, and the people I’ve met there I consider now to be some of my best friends. Among everything I’ve been involved in being a Delt sticks out because I got experiences and connection to my brothers that no other organization really offered at Lafayette. After graduation, I am looking to become a financial analyst in the New York area or get an MBA.

Andreas T. Pelekis '26 Ridgewood, NJ A.B. English/Film & Media Studies Summa Cum Laude
Lafayette College was a home for me where I knew I could get involved and continue my passions. Joining a fraternity like Delt, however, was a step I never thought I would take. Joining this brotherhood has taught me valuable lessons, gave me lifelong friends, and offered me leadership skills while working with both brothers and alumni. Being able to recruit the future members of Delt has been one of the most rewarding parts of my Lafayette experience, on top of working with people who all want to make the chapter a better place.

During my time at Lafayette College, in addition to learning about the world around me I have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to learn more about myself and what matters to me. In this pursuit, the fraternity has been an indispensable resource for me, the community and support it has provided has made my time at Lafayette College both more enjoyable and more meaningful. When I arrived on campus in 2022, I had no idea if I wanted to join a fraternity. Looking back on it now, it has been one of the most important and rewarding parts of my college experience and I wouldn’t change a thing about it.

I’m grateful for the experiences I had with my brothers which helped me find a good balance between my coursework and both social and athletic interests. I made some great friendships along the way, and I am looking forward to staying in touch with my Delt brothers and alumni following graduation. After graduating, I will be working at Cozen O’ Connor in New York City.
Jaden Bill Wurm '26 Armonk, NY B.S. Electrical & Computer Engineering
Although It took me a while to eventually join Delt, I’m so glad I did. Even when I wasn’t a member, Delt was still such a big part of my time here because of all of the connections I found through my friends in the organization that I had met all throughout campus. I’m grateful for what I was able to learn and do here during my time, making some truly life long connections and friends that will last for (hopefully) a lifetime, and although I only joined my Senior year, I wish I had joined sooner. Outside of DTD in my time at Lafayette, I have been an RA, Engineering Peer Mentor, A Hillel Peer Mentor, Vice President of Hillel, Newman Catholic, and the Boxing team, Treasurer of the Frisbee and Boxing teams, Events chair of our local IEEE branch, served on the interfaith council, am a singer in the Lafayette Men's a capella group the Chorduroys, and am the lead singer in my band N.S.

Joining DTD was one of the greatest choices I made in college. Despite joining my junior spring semester, Delt opened up the door to new faces, friendships and fun. I have met people in this fraternity who I want to keep in touch with for the rest of my life. Some of my fondest memories include brotherhood events such as paintball, and the barbeque right before finals week. I wish I had joined the fraternity sooner, but I will always remember and cherish the experiences created. While the future right now is unknown, I will hold close to my heart the people I have met and skills developed during my time in college as a brother of DTD.

After my semester abroad in my sophomore year, I was looking for a way to go outside my circle, and Delt felt like the perfect place for that. Despite a busy junior year, some of my favorite memories of college are from that period when I joined the chapter as a new member. In 2023-24, I was given the chance to serve as the DEI chair of the chapter. My two years in Delt have shaped me and encouraged me to make strong connections with different groups of people across campus, and I remained close with some brothers, right up until the very last day I left campus. After graduation, I will be returning home to Australia to work at Lockheed Martin as a software engineer.

I really didn’t think that Greek life was for me when I entered my sophomore year. As it turned out, Delt was special in a way that was welcoming and encouraged members to prioritize work and helped make me make meaningful connections. I had an amazing time with my brothers at Delt, and I plan on seeing them more in the future. Currently, I am working at Yale University with a research team to help develop a novel MRI device. This opportunity is amazing, but is limited currently to the summer. I plan on looking for more opportunities in all sorts of fields, whether it be more labs, in the finance sector, or possibly grad school.

I came to Lafayette as a transfer student and spent my Sophomore year feeling somewhat lost. I had decided that I didn’t want to rush a fraternity that year, as I was still getting to know the school and wasn’t sure if I would ever want to join one. But in my Junior year, I decided to attend the rush events after meeting friendly people in other Greek organizations. The brothers in Delt stood out as kind, hardworking men, and after joining, I am glad to say that my observations were correct. I have made great friends in Delt, and had a lot of fun with everyone. After graduation, I will be pursuing my Master's of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University.

Joining Delt has been one of the most meaningful experiences throughout my time at Lafayette. Coming to Lafayette in the midst of Covid-19, I was extremely apprehensive regarding how my college career would start, especially spending my first year entirely online. However, after befriending some of the brothers, I immediately knew that DTD was the place for me to be, and it quelled any looming anxieties towards finding meaningful connections and having a healthy social life. I am so glad that I had my brothers alongside me, through thick and thin, and I couldn’t imagine a college experience without them.

Becoming a brother in the Nu Chapter of Delta Tau Delta was one of the best decisions I made at Lafayette. In the summer before sophomore year, my older sister who had graduated from Lafayette in 2020, asked me what my thoughts were regarding joining a fraternity. At the time, I hadn’t given it much thought. I looked into the fraternities at Lafayette, but the last thing I wanted was for a fraternity to consume other aspects of my life. Outside of my course work, I spent a great deal of time in music as a pianist at Lafayette, and I was involved significantly on the club volleyball team. It was important for me to find a community that would understand that, and not try and control the other things that were important to me in my life. My sister suggested that I look into DTD. During rush, I really felt like I fit in with everyone. This was only reinforced once I became a brother. During my time at Lafayette, I formed extremely strong connections with many of my brothers. Other than the incredible friendships delt helped me build, I was also taught a great deal through the leadership positions I held. My position as recruitment chair challenged me to become organized, creative, and personable. In the turbulence of getting a new shelter and all of the uncertainty that came with that, I still recruited numerous men that embodied what it means to be a delt. During all of this, I was able to not only continue to participate in outside activities, but excel. I remained an active member in the club volleyball team, I became a much better pianist and was able to pursue a minor in music for my efforts, and I completed a thesis which granted me departmental honors in civil engineering. I attribute a large part of my success at Lafayette to DTD and my brothers who were always there to pick me up and help me through difficult times. Post-grad, I will be continuing my academic career at Virginia Tech where I will pursue a Masters in Civil Engineering with a focus in Geotechnical Engineering.

Coming to Lafayette as a freshman, I didn’t think I was going to join Greek life at all because I was worried that I wouldn’t fit in anywhere. After some convincing I decided to give it a try my sophomore year, and I am so grateful I did. Ever since I met the Delts, I knew I had found a group of guys that I could call my brothers. I even served in multiple leadership positions during my time in the fraternity, most notably serving as Vice President in 2024. Being in Delt was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and I will forever cherish the bonds I formed and the memories I made. After graduation, I am moving to Reading, PA where I will be working as an engineer at Heidelberg Materials in their trainee program.
