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.
