The Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity was founded on the campus of Hamilton College of New York in 1832. The organization has since expanded to the elite schools of the day and developed its international status by being one of the first to establish chapters in Canada. Over 160 years later, Alpha Delta Phi still holds strong to its founders' ideals of providing a comprehensive growth experience for the young men aimed at developing the entire being--moral, social, and intellectual. Often known as Alpha Delts, the undergraduate members are expected to be leaders in their endeavors, maintain involvement in the campus and community as well the Fraternity. Pride and enjoyment of this association carries on much longer than the college experience--lasting a lifetime. Members have established themselves as leaders in a vast array of disciplines. Some prominent Alpha Delts include Franklin D. Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Oliver Wendell Holmes, John D. Rockefeller, Thorton Wilder, and Salmon P. Chase. Hopkins Presidents Oilman, Remsen, Goodenow, and Eisenhower are also Alpha Delts. Alpha Delta Phi has always led the way in providing a diversified experience in a traditional setting at each of its campus locations. Management of chapter houses, meetings, athletics, social functions, and many other activities serve to develop young members for future experiences. Alpha Delts pride themselves in the involvement in campus activities including athletic teams, campus newspapers, student government, and other areas that develop young men.
