FEB. 13, 2023 — Coming on Feb. 13, rush week comes for the fraternities on campus. As rush week comes, Travis Okeefe, sophomore and president of Delta Tau Delta (Delt), is excited for the coming rush events and what is to occur at Delt. Among some of the things that he is excited about, he says that at Delt that one of the events that they do is that they watch the Super Bowl together.
Another event that they do at Delt is that they all go to the local Drover’s Inn and Tavern. While there, the brothers get wings and get to know each other a bit more. Okeefe describes the wings as being good and the incorporation of the Inn and Tavern into this yearly tradition to be a testament to how tasty the wings are.
“To Okeefe, Delt is special because of how close he feels to his brothers.”
Okeefe also added, “The rest of the events are classified.” That leaves much of the events to the surprise of incoming brothers. He is excited to meet new people as with each incoming year, new brothers from diverse backgrounds come in and they join the fraternity. It’s one of the aspects of rush week that excite him because he gets to meet new people and learn about different people.
To Okeefe, Delt is special because of how close he feels to his brothers. He thinks Greek life is a great opportunity for those who want to better themselves, join a community and want to be surrounded by people who will hold them accountable and encourage them to do better. Though not everyone wants to join, he also said, according to his own observation, to that, “88% percent of people who say they wouldn’t join Greek life in college has joined Greek life at W&J. I think that it’s a testament to how different our Greek life is from other campuses.”
