PLEDGE CHAPTER

Each of you is perfect the way you are...and you can use a little improvement. ” - Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki

Spring 2026

Join the DBT family! Every semester, Delta Beta Tau offers a twelve-week pledge program for SDSU students to dive deeper into meditation and Buddhism within a lively and supportive community. The Delta Beta Tau Pledge Program is founded on the six principles of generosity, morality, patience, diligence, concentration, & wisdom.

When carried out in life, these principles, known as the Paramitas, provide the foundation for peace and happiness within the mind and heart. Over the course of twelve weeks pledges explore these principles, listen to guest speakers, participate in meditation retreats, and practice generosity via community service and volunteer opportunities.

Pledges meet every Sunday from 7PM-9PM and every Wednesday from 8PM-9PM. Pledges are also required to attend 4 retreats on various Saturdays and must fulfill community service requirements. We will have multiple information sessions during the first few weeks of classes with more information.

We look forward to welcoming new members! If you have any questions, please fill out an application below
