From its early days, Alpha Delta Phi sought students of a decided literary orientation. In the founder's own words, the literary pursuit of the fraternity must "be built on a more comprehensive scale than other societies, . . . providing for every taste and talent and embracing every department of literature and science. . . It must be national and universal in all its adaptations, so as not merely to cultivate a taste for literature or furnish the mind with knowledge but with a true philosophical spirit looking to the entire man, so as to develop the whole being -- moral, social and intellectual. " Today, the literary tradition is carried on the international level in the form of annual literary competitions sponsored by the Samuel Eells Literary and Educational Foundation, which awards cash prizes in each of five categories.

The Split

Since the 1992 split, the Fraternity and the Society are completely separate and independent legal entities with separate governing bodies, and are not separate or parallel divisions of the same organization. The two groups share a license to use the name and intellectual property.

The Fraternity

The Fraternity is a retronym used now to distinguish the all-male Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity from the co-ed Alpha Delta Phi Society. A retronym is a type of Neologism coined for an old object or concept whose original name has come to be used for something else is no longer unique or is otherwise inappropriate In general parlance, the Fraternity refers to itself simply as "Alpha Delta Phi", since the Society is required to add "Society" to the end to distinguish itself.

Chapters

As of 2006 the Fraternity has 24 chapters and 5 affiliates, the oldest chapter at Hamilton College and the most recent affiliate at University of Connecticut. Hamilton College is a private independent liberal arts college located in Clinton, New York. The University of Connecticut ( Connecticut or UConn) is the State of Connecticut 's Land-grant university.

In addition, the Fraternity has a regional alumni organization, the Midwest Association of Alpha Delta Phi, which is more than 125 years old.

The Society

Several Alpha Delta Phi chapters began co-educating in the 1960s, starting with the California Chapter. Not all chapters approved of this change, and several decades of disputes followed, with some members lobbying for full admission of women, and others wanting to ban women altogether or grant them some form of associate membership. By 1992, the chapters agreed to bifurcate Alpha Delta Phi, creating the Alpha Delta Phi Society alongside the existing Fraternity. The Society espouses "home rule," letting each chapter decide whether or not to co-educate. To date, all of its chapters are co-educated.

Chapters

As of 2007 the Society had four undergraduate chapters, one undergraduate affiliate, and five alumni chapters.

The Society was founded in 1992 by four chapters: Brunonian (at Brown University), Columbia (at Columbia University), Middletown (at Wesleyan University), and Stanford (at Stanford University). Brown University is a highly esteemed private University located in Providence, Rhode Island and is a member of the Ivy League.

Bowdoin College, founded in 1794 is a private liberal arts college located in the coastal New England town of Brunswick, Maine. In 1994, the Society's first new chapter was formed at Middlebury College, becoming Alpha Delta Phi's first chapter to have a coeducational status from its inception. Middlebury College is a private liberal arts college located in Middlebury, Vermont, United States.

Bowdoin College later abolished its fraternity system, and the Bowdoin chapter became alumni-only. In 2005, Middlebury's undergraduate chapter affiliation was revoked, and it became alumni-only as well.

In December 2007, the Society's Board of Governors voted unanimously to establish the Granite Affiliate at the University of New Hampshire. University of New Hampshire ( UNH) is a public university in the University System of New Hampshire (USNH United States.
