Our Founders

It was the vision of these remarkable men that, during the 1910-11 school year—specifically on the night of January 5, 1911, at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana—they planted the seed of a fraternal organization whose benefits are now accessible to and cherished by college men worldwide, irrespective of their race, religion, or national origin.
