For decades, fraternity life has been scrutinized for losing sight of its purpose and the value of a college experience and education. At Ohio Wesleyan University, however, students have proven to take on Greek Life in a different light. 

20 Williams Drive, Delaware, Ohio houses two young men who are the epitome of what it means to be good fraternity men. These two members of Delta Tau Delta are leaders in the house, standouts on the sports field, and exemplary students in the classroom. 

Seth Anderson and Zane Vitense are two proud Delts who shine as multi-faceted individuals in the Ohio Wesleyan community. 

Anderson (Sr., Springfield, Ohio) is a two-time All-NCAC linebacker and team captain for the Bishops for the 2025 season. 

Vitense (Jr., Maple Grove, Minn.) is a two-time All-NCAC first baseman and is also a class representative for the leadership committee on the baseball team. 

When asked about the Greek Life's impact on his college experience, Anderson said, “I have been provided with role models and connections that have shaped me to be who I am today. I have had the privilege to create relationships with guys who are now my best friends, and also alumni who have helped me with my future career search.” 

Vitense responded similarly. He said, “The support that Delt has provided me with as an out-of-stater has been crucial for my development as a student, athlete, and young man.” 

Anderson serves his role in the house as the Treasurer with integrity, budgeting for philanthropy and brotherhood events throughout the year. This coming calendar year, Vitense looks to have an executive board role as he has shown high-value characteristics throughout his time in the house. 

When asked about the two, President Zack Leonard said, “They are the exact guys you would want in a house of 25+ college students. We are very lucky to have a group of young men who push each other on the field, in class, and in the house.”

These two Bishops also get it done in the classroom, combining for over a 3.6 GPA. 

Anderson attributed some of his in-class success to the atmosphere of the fraternity, saying, ”When I first joined, a bunch of the older guys in the house were in the same major as I am, so it was like I had six or seven tutors at my fingertips at all times. Now I get to do the same and help out some of the sophomores. It has come full circle and I think it is really special the kind of culture we have built here.”

As Greek Life continues to get bad press for being a hostile environment for young men, Seth Anderson, Zane Vitense, and many other Greek members around campus challenge this way of thinking.
