Phi Delta Medical Fraternity (ΦΔ) was a North American professional fraternity from 1901 to 1918.[1] This medical fraternity was established at Long Island Hospital Medical College and merged with Kappa Psi in 1918.[2]
Phi Delta Medical Fraternity was established in 1901 at the Long Island Hospital Medical College in Long Island, New York.[3][1] This was called the Alpha Alpha chapter. The fraternity created a constitution and by-laws.[3] It was overseen by a Grand Chapter.[3]
In 1902, the Alpha Beta chapter opened at Ohio State University and the Alpha Gamma chapter at Albany College of Pharmacy at Union University in New York.[1] Phi Delta became international in 1904 with the addition of Alpha Iota chapter at the University of Toronto in Canada.[1] In total, sixteen chapters of Phi Delta formed between 1901 and 1912.[1] Each chapter rented a chapter house.[3]
Phi Delta held triennial conventions in Chicago or New York City.[3] Its publication was called Black and Gold.[3][1]
Phi Delta merged with the medical and pharmaceutical fraternity Kappa Psi on January 26, 1918.[2] Before the merger, the fraternity had initiated 1,371 members.[1]
The fraternity's badge was a monogram featuring the Greek letter Φ over the letter Δ, with the chapter letters in the ring of the letter Φ.[1][3] Its colors were black and gold.[1]
The Phi Delta flag was a black pennant with a red Geneva cross in the center; the fraternity's letters are on either side of the cross in gold.[3]
