  • Fraternity and Sorority Overview
    Fraternity and Sorority Overview Fraternities Sigma Theta Psi1 of Alpha Delta Phi2 (ΑΔΦ) On April 29, 1961, Sigma Theta Psi was inducted into Alpha Delta Phi, founded on non- discriminatory principles. Overall, Alpha Delta Phi emphasized the importance of interpersonal unity, functioning under the doctrine, “Many Hands, One Heart.” By extension – in line with the national chapter’s beginnings as a literary society – the local chapter held annual fiction and poetry contests. As with other Colby fraternities, Alpha Delta Phi was abolished in 1984. • Colors: Emerald and Pearl Gamma Alpha of Alpha Tau Omega (ATΩ) Originating from the informal student group, “Beta Epsilon,” Gamma Alpha became a local chapter of Alpha Tau Omega on June 25, 1892. Alpha Tau Omega followed the creed, “Know Man as Man,” accentuating the society’s desire for mankind’s moral and mutual betterment. Additionally, the fraternal society’s symbol of a crescent, signifying the guidance of an active chapter, and three stars – character, scholarship, and fellowship – represented the local and national chapter’s weight on sustained brotherhood and intellect. However, the local chapter’s 1960s constitutional language implies that there may have been discriminatory policies dictated by the national chapter, as Gamma Alpha allowed “social membership.” A social member was an individual who partook in a majority of fraternal activities, but could not become a nationally-recognized “brother,” as he was considered “unacceptable” to the national chapter, based upon whatever criteria. Otherwise, Alpha Tau Omega’s philanthropic activities aided the Pine Tree Camp for Crippled Children and Adults, the Epilepsy Foundation of America, and the National Association for Retarded Citizens.
