Celebrating 100 Years of Brotherhood
1914 - 2014
We have very exciting plans for the Alpha Phi Delta Centennial and you have an important role. As we celebrate our first 100 years of brotherhood and prepare for the next 100, we are establishing several committees. These committees will make our vision a reality. Alpha Phi Delta needs over 200 volunteers to fully realize our potential.
Please sign up to participate in those committees which interest you. Just click on the committee name.
