Our National News

The National Historian in conjunction with Central Office and the National Archives has begun, in earnest, the process of revising The History of Alpha Phi Delta 1914-2020. The revised version will bring the book up to date; it will be covering the life of our Fraternity up thru and including 2023 (including summations of events and the Council meeting).

The revised History of Alpha Phi Delta 1914-2023 is hoped to be ready for promotion at the 2023 National Convention. 

Brother Smé, our Historian, is updating the years since 2020, as well as updating, revising and adding biographies (which are located on the side bars of the pages throughout the entirety of the book). 

Exact pricing, book formats, and availability will not be announced until later this summer -- when the books are in production.

With the prospect of increased insurance costs, and rising operational expenses — coupled with fewer chapters — the National Council gave its unanimous consent to a budget with across-the-board fee increases.

• Chapter Assessment will rise from $2,300 to $2,500 per chapter with a pro rata charge of $250 per man for chapters under ten members; 

• the Alumni Club Fee is increased from $450 to $500, 

• the Alumni Association Fee is increased from $225 to $250; 

•  the initiation fee will is increased by $15 to $315 per man. 

All assessment and fee increases will take effect after July 1, 2023.
