Phi Sigma Delta ' I HE Phi Sigma Delta frarernity was founded in 1910 at Columbia ■ - University. The Alpha Chapter has expanded to such an extent that the fraternity now numbers twenty-two active cliapters in the important colleges and universities throughout the United States. On the sixth of June, 1926, the Central Council of Phi Sigma Delta granted a charter to a local fraternity, Beta Phi, at Lehigh University. This was called the Tau chapter and was the seven- teenth branch of Phi Sigma Delta. The men who were active in found- ing the chapter were: J. S. Askin, H. J. Gutowitz, H. Lewin, W. Gould, B. Weinstein, B. Levitz, and M. M. Miller. The Tau chapter of Phi Sigma Delta has been distinguished on the Lehigh Campus since its founding. Honey Lewin, a famous Lehigh football star, was a charter member. Ben Weinstein, basket- ball star and captain in 1924, was also among the charter brothers. The Levitz brothers, noteworthv in football, wrestling, and track, were among the early members of this chapter. With this very successful beginning, and with no serious difficul- ties after its founding, the fraternity has become a well-established and active brotherhood. 32
