We are Under Construction:
There's a New Website on the Way

Picture
Notice: Our Fraternity website is currently under construction, and we hope to launch our new Alpha Phi Delta website in early September 2023. It will still be www.apd.org, but the site will look much different and be much more phone and tablet-friendly.

As such, this site will not be updated any further until that changeover is made. Thank you for your patience.

National Convention '23 --
Huge Turnout, Lots of Awards,
and Boat Loads of Brotherhood

Picture
The Conventioneers are shown here on the main stairway at the entrance to the Villa Roma Resort (Callicoon, New York). While not every conventioneer is in this picture, this is a good share of them. After this picture was taken the entire crowd made their way to the Villa Roma's Club House where the National Awards Banquet was held and awards winners for 2023 were announced.
The 100th National Convention of Alpha Phi Delta was the highlight our 108th year of brotherhood. With over 225 in attendance -- alumni and undergraduates alike -- our five-day convention at the Villa Roma Restort in Callicoon, New York was nothing short of amazing. Gathering for meals (in the Italian family tradition), playing trivia, bocce and baseball; honoring our military brothers; celebrating our 50 years brothers; remembering our deceased; educating our undergraduate members; and capping of a great year with our awards banquet was all part and parcel of our 2023 National Convention. 

In our National Award program, the Upstate New York District won the Outstanding District Award, while one of that District's Chapters, Epsilon Pi (SUNY Cortland) walked off with the Outstanding Chapter Award. Gamma Mu Chapter (Stockton University) won the Most Improved Chapter Award, while Gamma Iota (Pace University) won the Outstanding Community Service Award. The Staten Island Alumni Club won the Outstanding Alumni Club, and the Epsilon Gamma Alumni Association won the Outstanding Alumni Association Award. 

In individual honors, Jake Shoemaker (Delta Theta) was named the Outstanding Undergraduate of 2023, while Past National President Todd Cusato won the Outstanding Alumnus Award.

The Fraternity regrets to announce the passing of Brother Vincent N. Verdile, long-serving Florida District Governor, on August 24, 2023. Born on October 11, 1964, Brother Verdile was initiated into the Beta Phi Chapter on April 22, 1986. He served in various roles in the Fraternity, including South Jersey District Governor and, most recently, Florida District Governor. He is predeceased by his father, Benjamin Verdile (Beta Delta '57), a former National Vice President of the Fraternity (1976-78). He is survived by his mother, Rose Verdile, a frequent face at our National Conventions, and his brother, Anthony. Brother Verdile worked as a school teacher in Florida and previously in New Jersey. He will be missed. Faciamus!
