UT’s chapter of Delta Theta Phi traces its roots to the law school’s first professional fraternity, the Reese Law Club, founded in 1898 and named for William B. Reese, a justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court and later president of the university. In 1903 the club became a division of Theta Lambda Phi, which later consolidated with Delta Theta Phi. The club became inactive in 1912 and was reestablished in 1966.
