Your Intro to 603WW
Let your years as a member of the DTD Beta Psi Chapter be a beacon and a bond to all who have lived the journey as a Wabash Delt.
Dear Brother,
Your time is valuable; as a respected Delt alumnus of the Beta Psi Chapter, your life’s experience is incomparable, the loyalty of your friendship, priceless. Imagine if, when you were in college, you could have tapped into the knowledge that you have now. What if, in college, qualified Delt alumni would have been among your circle of friends? Think of the advantages, the mentors, the lasting friendships you would have had.
Well now you can make that happen among current Delt residents as you simultaneously reconnect with the men who shared the Delt experience at Wabash.
Today, as a Wabash alumnus and your pledging Beta Psi, you are a partner in the mission of 603 WW, Inc., a brand-new organization forged to bolster current residents and alumni of Delta Tau Delta’s Beta Psi Chapter, and to bring together brothers who have long been out of touch.
Developed by brothers for brothers, the not-for-profit 603 WW, Inc. came about to offer Beta Psi students and alumni our fraternal support: a sharing of knowledge through volunteer mentoring, internships, and professional and financial support; and not the least, rekindling and strengthening the great friendship we formed.
Our sole mission is “to foster the spirit of purpose and kinship across all generations of Wabash Brethren who shared the experience of 603 WW, by offering educational support including scholarships as appropriate, professional support, social support and civic mentoring so as to preserve and strengthen the fraternal bonds that first emerged during time shared at 603 WW, and which we seek to preserve through this work.” The question may be asked are we trying to replace or compete with the House Corporation and the answer is definitely not.
603 WW, Inc. has social and practical purposes.
The social aim of 603 WW, Inc. is to reconnect Beta Psi Delts, rekindle those great friendships and galvanize our bond.
Remember those great college gatherings? Social events are already on the calendar!
This year there is a camping trip to the Great Smoky Mountains planned for June. Relive good times and rekindle friendships in the beauty of the peaks. Visit our web site for information and reservations at:

CAMPING TRIP UPDATE: TRIP POSTPONED TO THE FALL DUE TO THE CONVID-19 VIRUS. DETAILS TO FOLLOW…….
Let’s not forget the great Delt classes which were originally scheduled to have classes reunions at the Big Bash Celebration to be held this June but have now been postponed due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic. In light of this development, we will be conducting a special recognition of those classes originally scheduled for the Big Bash Weekend at our 2020 Delt Monon Bell Reunion Weekend.
Speaking of the Monon Bell Weekend Reunion, it will be held on November 12-15, 2020 on and around the Wabash College campus. Each event will relink you to your Delt friends. Visit the dedicated web site and read about the 3 action packed days, purchase your tickets and make your hotel reservations at a discounted rate only for Delts. For more information and to make reservations please visit our web site at:

Lastly, it is not too early for the Class of 1976 to start thinking about and planning for their 45th reunion in 2021.
As mentioned above, 603 WW Inc. has two stated purposes one of which we have already discussed that being a social organization for all alumni. Equally important is the other side with its practical mission of working with undergraduates in their transition to the working world. Activities that are currently underway thanks to the involvement of numerous alumni include mentoring, internships and job placement. Future activities under consideration include financial assistance for preparatory bootcamps (LSAT, MCAT, DAT) and scholarships as funding permits.
Future emails will be sent out dealing with each of the above noted areas in greater detail.
