Delta Tau Reunion – Binghamton @ Binghamton New York
Oct 14 – Oct 16 all-day

In the spring of 1980, an intrepid group of more than 50 college woman pledged for the first class of the first sorority at what was then called SUNY-Binghamton. In the absence of sisters to whom to pledge, they pledged to the brothers of Tau Alpha Upsilon, which was, at the time and since 1961, the only fraternity at Binghamton.

Today at Binghamton University, there are 52 fraternities and sororities. The sisters of Delta Tau pioneered sorority life at Binghamton University during its nearly 20 year run as an active sorority. They share a common connection with the sisters of each of today’s sororities, including specifically AEPhi, DPhiE, Sigma AEPi, Phi Mu, SDT and Phi Sigma Sigma.

Delta Tau forged the bonds of sisterhood among its members while laying the groundwork for today’s Greek life at Binghamton University. It’s time to come home and reconnect with the sisters of Delta Tau and witness the awe-inspiring changes that have taken place at the University.

Are you ready to relive, revisit and reflect? Check out the full reunion schedule. Register now. You won’t want to miss out!

Hotel: A hotel room block has been secured at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites located at 3615 Vestal Pkwy E, Vestal. Rooms are $99/night and can be booked by calling 607-348-0088.

Thirsty (for Knowledge) Thursday Luncheon Featuring Seth Spain – Binghamton @ Alumni Center Lounge
Oct 20 @ 19:00 – 20:00

“The Dark Side of Personality and Managerial Careers”

There’s a somewhat paradoxical set of findings that the dark side of personality comes with a silver lining: people displaying these characteristics are often remarkably successful in their careers. Seth focuses on integrating research on managerial behavior, especially contrasting “successful managers” (who are promoted quickly) and “effective managers” (those who lead their teams and accomplish goals), with research on the Dark Triad of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Seth will discuss “lessons” on how to behave to capture the upside of these characteristics while minimizing their long-term liabilities.

Seth is an assistant professor in the School of Management.

The cost to attend is $15/person and includes lunch. Register online to secure your spot.
