Delta Phi Delta Rating, Reviews and Requirements. Is it worth it?

What is the history of Delta Phi Delta?

One cold winter evening in University Park, IL, as Terrence M. Johnson sat and watched MTVs Making The Video, he received a jolt of inspiration. It was then that he decided that he must create an organization for people who like him were not only talented in the art of dance but also had a strong desire to develop their talent and that of others around them.  Under the guidance of his mother (and Co-Founder  of our organization) Dr. Tamarra R. Winn, Delta Phi Delta Dance Fraternity, Inc. was founded on Tuesday, January 18, 2000 as the outlet to make this dream a reality.
