  • Alpha Delta Pi History
    Sigma of Alpha Delta Pi—1907-2002 Jonathan S. Coit, Greek Chapter Housing History Project June 5, 2002 Information courtesy of University of Illinois Archives and the Society for the Preservation of Greek Housing This history was produced as part of the Society for the Preservation of Greek Housing’s Greek Chapter History Project. The Society was founded in 1988, with the goal of preserving the historic buildings that embody the history of the nation’s largest Greek system, and educating the public about the historical significance of fraternities and sororities on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus. Dues paid by member fraternity and sorority chapters and donations from chapter alumni fund the Society’s work. In keeping with their mission, the Society began the Greek Chapter History Project in May 2000 in conjunction with the University of Illinois Archives. The GCHP aims for nothing less than producing a complete historical record of fraternities and sororities on the University of Illinois campus by employing a graduate assistant to research and write histories of campus chapters. Making the work possible are the extensive collections of the University of Illinois Archives, especially its Student Life and Culture Archival Program. Supported by an endowment from the Stewart S. Howe Foundation, the heart of the SLC Archives is the Stewart S. Howe collection, the world’s largest collection of material related to fraternities and sororities. 2002 The Society for the Preservation of Greek Housing and the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. All rights reserved. The national sorority now known as Alpha Delta Pi, the first recorded secret society for college women, spent its first half-century as one of the nations’ most prominent local fraternities.

  • 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.

  • Chapter 1: the College Fraternity
    Chapter 1: The College Fraternity “...we are all brothers, all men.” Since the beginning of time it has been a universal desire for people to organize into small, selective groups, bringing together persons of like interests into an intimate social relationship. The college fraternity is an outgrowth of this desire. A fraternity man should know how and why the college fraternity came into being, the purposes which it serves today, and the aims and objectives to which it aspires. Fraternity alumni testify to the value of their fraternity experience. “Fraternities and the fraternity system are a distinctive and praiseworthy feature of American college life. Both as a fraternity man and as an educator, I firmly believe in the value of fraternities when they are properly managed and under good leadership.” - Dr. Walter C. Langsam, Former President of the University of Cincinnati Each year thousands of young men leave their homes, their communities, and their high and preparatory themselves in new surroundings. They face a new and often confusing life, a life that needs central cores to help them maintain balance and to direct their efforts toward worthwhile goals. Without such agencies, the college newcomer may waste valuable time. Your fraternity is one of the most significant campus groups that supplies this need. One of the fraternity’s most important functions is to provide a college home for schools to prove its members. The older men of the chapter take the new men into their group life, replacing the familiar atmosphere of the home with the spirit of brotherhood. The chapter house furnishes an ideal common ground for frank, informal discussions between professor and student, between graduate and undergraduate.
