Through Knowledge, Power.
Today we celebrate Founders Day and honor the creation of Delta Mu Delta Honor Society, founded on November 18, 1913 at the School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance at New York University in New York City.
For more than a century, Delta Mu Delta has recognized the top 20% of business students in accredited programs and supported their journeys with lifelong recognition, networking, and opportunities for leadership and service.
We proudly remember our founders, whose vision for academic excellence in business still guides us today:
- Prof. Charles W. Gerstenberg, New York University
- Prof. George Burton Hotchkiss, Yale University
- Dean Joseph French Johnson, Harvard University
- Prof. Edward Jones Kilduff, Yale University
- Prof. John R. Wildman, New York University
To our members, chapters, and alumni around the world: thank you for carrying this legacy forward. Happy Founders Day, Delta Mu Delta!
