About Delta Theta Phi:
The E.E. Townes Senate of Delta Theta Phi was chartered at South
Texas on July 20, 1956 and is an extension of the National Delta Theta Phi Fraternity.
Many famous people are members of this fraternity: President Lyndon Johnson,
Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day Oconner, and Senator Tower of Texas, just
to name a few. For a great ride through the history of Delta Theta Phi, go

History web page.
Delta Theta Phi contributes to student life by sponsoring events
with the Student Bar Association, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Big Bothers and
Big Sisters of Southeast Texas, and Texas Southern University-Burns Senate.
STCL and TSU jointly host a happy hour and initiation at the Kirby
Mansion in Fall and Spring with the Delta Theta Phi State Chancellor, Kenneth
H. Burns and other alumni.
Scholarships:
Delta Theta Phi makes a National Scholarship Award each year to its
midlaw members in the top 7.5 percent of their class and senior members in
the top 15 percent of their class. The EE Townes Senate also awards
the Carmody Delts Scholarship, funded by Kenneth H. Burns, to members who
have demonstrated leadership and service to the fraternity. Once each

Publications:
The Adelphia Law Journal
is a cooperative enterprise intended to serve the local senates of Delta Theta
Phi. The Adelphia
publishes articles, notes, and commentaries reflecting both legal analysis
and literary expression; and, as a reflection of its accomplishments, was
in 1985 accepted by the Index to Legal Periodicals
as well as other similar indexes, reference guides and authorities.
Every year, the National Editorial Board of the Adelphia chooses a senate from
among those which apply to undertake the rigorous challenge
of editing and publishing that years' issue of the review. Once chosen,
the senate is committed to extensive editorial review, proof-reading, and
cite-checking of all submissions.
