CHANGE FOR GROWTH
Chapter History
Est. 2005
On December 11, 2005, a group of five visionary men brought the legacy of Delta Alpha Omega to Austin, Texas and founded the Gamma chapter. They sought to make the DAO experience truly available to all men at a diverse and acclaimed university. Today, our chapter has over 60 members and counting.

ΔΑΩ
Change for growth.
When translated, our Greek letters literally read "Change from beginning to end." This is conducive to the fraternity's goal of providing each member with an experience that changes and shapes their life throughout their college years. We believe that change is necessary for growth and for education. And with the right change, an organization can excel, and its members can achieve their goals.
Our Values

The Nine Pillars
Principles for life.
The brothers of Delta Alpha Omega uphold nine pillars, or principles, to strive to live by every day.
Unity
Integrity
Initiative
Character
Leadership
Scholarship
Individuality
Brotherhood
Community Service
Gryphon Pride
One creature. one race.
All DAO brothers are united under the Almighty Gryphon. A gryphon is a mythological creature that represents wisdom, strength, and salvation, and is seen in many different cultures as a symbol of unity and peace. The king of the land, and the king of the skies, the Gryphon is the ruler and protector of all. In everything we do, the brothers of Delta Alpha Omega seek to represent the power and stature of the Gryphon.
Our motto
promoting change.
"The harder you work in the beginning, the more fruitful you will be in the end."
Every DAO brother works very hard to get the most out of fraternity life and their education here at UT. We believe that some sacrafices are necessary now in order to reap a great reward in the long run. Each day, we try to apply this principle, whether we are in class, on campus, or out serving the community.
Affiliation
