California Coast University - E-card

California Coast University - 33nd Anniversary: 1973-2006

The Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) Board of Trustees, in cooperation with the President of the Alpha Beta Kappa National Honor Society, established Delta Epsilon Tau (DET) International Honor Society in 1997. CCU established the "Gamma of California" Chapter of the DET International Honor Society (DET) on March 31, 2005 to recognize the academic achievements of CCU's Outstanding Graduates who have pursued their degrees through our distance-learning program.

SYMBOLS OF DELTA EPSILON TAU

Delta, D, is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet, and it is symbolized by a triangle. This International Honor Society joins three groups: students, colleges, and the Distance Education and Training Council.

Epsilon, E, the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet, stands for education and distinction. The "E" in Epsilon begins the Latin word "educo" or "educatum" and means to lead forth, to encourage mental, aesthetic, physical and moral development, through instruction for the business and duties of life.

Tau, T, the nineteenth letter of the Greek alphabet, means to instill good character. Tau brings recognition and praise for those who have worked valiantly and successfully in their field of study.
