Gamma Phi Society

After decades of research, I can confidently say the seminal concept for the formation of the Delphic Fraternity was the creation of the Gamma Phi Society at Colgate University, which was founded around 1833.

In 1840, the society became the Adelphian Society, a lineal descendant of the Delphic Society at the University of Rochester. 

The society at Rochester, founded in 1850, is the predecessor organization to the Delphic Society established in 1871 at SUNY Geneseo.

Today, the society formed at Geneseo is known as the Delphic Fraternity (Delphic of Gamma Sigma Tau Fraternity.)

With more than 45 million Americans uninsured, health care reform must become a reality. No matter what the obstacle, Americans deserve access to adequate affordable health coverage. Conservatives are trying to scare everyone into thinking the health care reform issue is dead.

The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has seen its economy steadily decline prior to the global economic crisis and will likely continue to suffer after others see signs of recovery.

Puerto Rico has a history of economic problems. The Puerto Rican government is much poorer than the poorest U.S.

I also run a fraternity blog. I am a strong supporter of the social fraternity and sorority movement in the U.S. If you come across an interesting fraternity or sorority related story that sheds a positive light on the Greek community, please feel free to pass it along.

Today, while glancing through the Twitterverse, I saw a mention of me in a reference to Latino GLBT blogs. I thought it was cool, but also quite interesting since my blog is not GLBT specific.
