HAMMOND - For the third year in a row, Southeastern Louisiana University’s Epsilon Phi Chapter of Delta Tau Delta has been awarded the Hugh Shields Flag, a designation given to the top 10 chapters in the national fraternity.
The award is based on overall performance and programming in the areas of academics, finances, recruitment, membership education, operations, campus leadership, service and alumni relations.
Gene Pregeant, chapter advisor, said Epsilon Phi was recognized especially for its recruitment and academic performance and for its participation in Adopt-a-School, the national philanthropy of the fraternity. The chapter worked closely with its adopted school, Natalbany Elementary.
“Winning the Hugh Shields Flag again is a huge honor,” said Chapter President Brandon Colletti. “It is the result of countless hours of hard work and dedication by the entire chapter. Everyone has made the past year unforgettable, and we are still working as hard as ever in hopes of winning again next year.”
In addition to its Adopt-A-School project, the chapter participated in a number of other community service activities, including Relay for Life, Adopt-a-Street, the Disposable Heroes Project, and Haiti Relief. The chapter also performed campus service work at the Southeastern Laboratory School and at Chefs Evening, the university’s annual fund raising event.
