Statement of Intent
The Alpha Delta Phi Society is a self-governing, coeducational organization dedicated to cultivating character, scholarship, and enduring friendships. Our literary tradition fosters life-long intellectual growth, mentoring, and achievement among our members. Our undergraduate and graduate chapters invite you to learn more about our community.
The Alpha Delta Phi Society is a literary society and one of North America's foremost coeducational Greek-letter institutions, with five active chapters and two affiliates. The Alpha Delta Phi was founded by Samuel Eells in 1832 to encourage free thought and to supplement a rigid classroom education. In 1992, after years of controversy over the status of women within the organization, the Alpha Delta Phi formally separated into the Alpha Delta Phi Society, which could accept women, and the all-male Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity. Welcome to our community!
