Alpha Phi Delta (Script error: No such module "Lang".), commonly referred to as APD, is an American collegiate fraternity. Alpha Phi Delta was established at Syracuse University in 1914 as an Italian-heritage fraternity.[1]

History

In 1913, Syracuse University student Nicholas Frunzi had the idea to start a society for Italian students.[1] He recruited six other students who formed an exclusive Italian society known as Il Circolo Italiano ("The Italian Circle") on November 5, 1913.[2][1]

The seven members of Il Circolo Italiano met on October 14, 1914, to discuss becoming a Greek letter organization; they selected the name Alpha Phi Delta.[1] On November 5, 1914, the seven founders met and swore an oath to Alpha Phi Delta, an Italian-heritage fraternity.[3][1] The fraternity's founders were:[1] Script error: No such module "Template wrapper".

Frunzi was elected the fraternity's first president.[1] During its first few weekly meetings, the fraternity's members adopted a constitution and ritual and also selected its banner, charter, coat of arms, handshake, motto, oath, pin, pledge, and whistle.[1] DiBartolo was charged with approaching the university for official recognition, successfully making the case that Alpha Phi Delta's Italian members were prohibited from joining the existing campus fraternities.[1]

When Frunzi transferred to Columbia University in 1916, he became friends with members of the local Italian heritage fraternity Sigma Gamma Phi.[1] Frunzi convinced the founding members of Sigma Gamma Phi to merge with Alpha Phi Delta.[4][1] Sigma Gamma Phi became the Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Delta, making the latter a national fraternity.[4]

As time passed, Alpha Phi Delta chartered additional chapters. It began publishing its magazine, The Kleos of Alpha Phi Delta.[5] Alpha Phi Delta became a member of the North-American Interfraternity Conference. On September 2, 1965, the fraternity began accepting members of all ethnic backgrounds.[2]

In 2015, the fraternity reached 20,000 lifelong members.[6] At the February 27, 2016, annual meeting in New Haven, Connecticut, the National Council of Alpha Phi Delta voted to leave the North-American Interfraternity Conference due to concerns over NIC's near-quadrupling of fees, its stripping of smaller fraternities from having voting privileges, and other grievances.[7]

Symbols

The Alpha Phi Delta motto is Script error: No such module "Lang". The fraternity's colors are royal purple and white.[5] Its symbol is the Fasces. Its flower is the white carnation.[5]

The Alpha Phi Delta badge is a shield with a black background bisected by a gold key. Across the shield and key is a white scroll and the letters Script error: No such module "Lang"..[5] The shield is rimmed with gold and pearls, with a diamond star above its top and flaming torch at an angle behind the shield.[5]

The fraternity's pledge pin is in the shape of a shield that is divided at an angle between the colors purple and white.[5] Its publication is The Kleos.
