History

About the Fraternity

Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity was founded May 1, 1848 at Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. The fraternity was founded by six men, respectfully referred to today as the “Immortal Six.” The men were John Templeton McCarty, Samuel Beatty Wilson, James Elliott, Ellis Bailey Gregg, Daniel Webster Crofts, and Naaman Feltcher. The brotherhood these men created over a century ago set the foundation of fraternity that Phi Gamma Delta still follows today.

Phi Gamma Delta, also referred to as Phi Gam or FIJI, has initiated over 162,000 brothers since 1848. There are 107 chapters and seven Delta Colonies located in the United States and Canada.
