Alpha Delta Phi

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Alpha Delta Phi (ΑΔΦ, also Alpha Delt, or ADPhi) is a Greek-letter social college fraternity and the fourth-oldest continuous Greek-letter fraternity in the United States and Canada. Alpha Delta Phi was founded on October 29, 1832 by Samuel Eells at Hamilton College and includes former U.S. Presidents, Chief Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court and U.S. Senators among its 50,000+ alumni. Today, the name refers to both the all-male fraternity and the Alpha Delta Phi Society, which separated from the fraternity in 1992 and permits co-educated chapters. The Fraternity and the Society are both derived from Eells's vision for a literary society, with each chapter upholding its literary tradition. The Dartmouth College chapter was the inspiration for National Lampoon's Animal House.
