One of the shorter pieces the Daily wrote for the installation of a greek house. The Hawkeye Club was formed in 1902 and in 1908 reorganized as a local fraternity. The installation in 1911 was a return to Iowa State for Delta Tau Delta. It was originally installed on campus in 1875 as the first fraternity on campus.

As the Hawkeye Club, from 1905 to 1911, its home was at 218 Welch, where Battle’s BBQ was. It was one of the early clubs to establish themselves on Welch Avenue as the road quickly became the preferred street as the land surrounding campus began to develop in the early 1900s.

As Delta Tau Delta, the men moved to the corner of Hyland Avenue and Lincoln Way.
