Indiana University - Bloomington  
Indiana Alpha Chapter  
  Welcome

 

Welcome to the Indiana Alpha Chapter of Phi Delta Theta

Established October 11, 1849 at Indiana University

 

             We are proud to be the second chapter ever of Phi Delta Theta, chartered by Founder John McMillan Wilson.

                 The walls of our Castle here at Indiana University have helped to mold young men into Olympic Gold Medalists, a United States Supreme Court Justice, Governors, Senators, judges, a United States Secretary of State, a Brigadier-General, a world famous artist, and uncountable doctors, lawyers, dentists, and businessmen. We strive to uphold the traditions that have been placed before us, and wish to keep our rich history alive in the many men that may follow.

Phi Delta Theta
