Emblem

Picture
The emblem of THE HONOR SOCIETY OF DELTA TAU ALPHA is that which was selected by the delegates attending the First National Convention in March 1960. The corn and wheat of the emblem represent the products of applied education, experimentation, and hard work. The “delta,” formed by the corn and wheat, signifies change. Agricultural professionals continually change and adapt to more efficiently utilize resources in the production and marketing of food and fiber for a growing population. The scroll, on which the corn, wheat, and letters of Delta Tau Alpha are placed, represents the founding ideals of THE HONOR SOCIETY OF DELTA TAU ALPHA: scholarship, character, responsibility, leadership, and lifelong commitment to agriculture.
