The history of the Delta Sigma Phi International Fraternity at St. Francis College is a long and colorful one. Founded as the local fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Kappa, on April 30, 1946, by Eugene Novak, Francis Brady, and Leonard Noel, it became the first fraternity to establish a chapter at St. Francis. The Fraternity took up its residence at the present chapter house on June 10, 1946. The six weeks that inter- vened saw more members taken into the fraternity, and by the close of the summer semester there were eight active members and five pledges. Two years later, on May 30, 1948, A.E.K. was formally initiated into the Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity, thus becoming the Beta Phi chapter, and first chapter on any Catholic College campus of a Greek letter In- ternational Fraternity. At present, Delta has approximately 50 brothers and fifteen pledges. Delta has attempted in the past and in the future will attempt to be tops in leadership and scholarship on the St. Francis Campus. l The strength of a Fraternity tells the character of the men.
