Pi Lambda Phi, Pa Delta Iota Chapter

Pi Lambda Phi was founded at Yale University on March 21, 1895 by Frederick Manfred Werner, Louis Samter Levy, and Henry Mark Fisher as North America's first non-sectarian and non-discriminatory Fraternity. In 1895, the group of men from Yale University were denied admission to other college fraternities due to their racial and religious backgrounds. It became the vision of three men to create an organization in which no member would be barred admittance due sect or creed. These men founded the Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity on the basis of ability, open-mindedness, farsightedness, and a progressive, forward-looking attitude which became recognized as the basic attributes of membership. Pi Lambda Phi is proud to be the first international, non-sectarian fraternity. Our values are: Scholarship, Character, Leadership, Obedience, Finance, and Equality.
