​Alpha Phi Delta Foundation
Cultural Heritage Initiative

Created in 2021, the Cultural Heritage Initiative is specifically designed to preserve our shared Italian Heritage.

This Fund will:
  1. Support our National Fraternity Archives
  2. Research our History
  3. Document our Contributions to Society
  4. Educate our Undergraduates about the Rich Italian Culture that we, as Brothers celebrate
This page contains links to many parts of our history,  Browse this page, the Alpha Phi Delta Foundation Page, and the Fraternity Page to learn more about the rich history of our fraternity and how the Foundation and Fraternity are creating the future!


Kleos Archive:   Our rich history can be viewed in the Magazine of Alpha Phi Delta, the Kleos.  We have every issue of the Kleos since 1929 on line.  Click on The Kleos Archive to view where we have been.  Its quite an educational experience!
The Songs of Alpha Phi Delta:  Since our earliest days, Alpha Phi Delta Brothers have always celebrated with music. Listen to the recordings of some of our earliest as recorded by Vito DiSalvo, Psi '70 and the Pittsburgh Alumni Club singers.

In conjunction with the Centennial, Brother Vito DiSalvo has composed a special tribute. Click below to listen to our newest official fraternity song, Centennial Hymn: One Hundred Years for Alpha Phi Delta.
  Click on The Songs of Alpha Phi Delta to learn more about our history in song.

APD History in the Military:   Throughout our history, the Brothers of Alpha Phi Delta have proudly served our country. Our brothers have served in every branch of the armed services and virtually every rank from private to general. Thirty two brothers have sacrificed their own lives for our country.  Click on Our Military Brothers to see a fairly comprehensive history of Alpha Phi Delta in the Military!

​An Italian Band of Brothers: In the early 1900s, diversity was not a word that was tossed around in the newspapers – or anywhere during that period. White men dominated most aspects of America. And not just white men, but white Anglo-Saxon Protestant men. Women would not even get to vote until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.The Great Arrival in the United States spanned from 1880 to 1920, as more than four million Italian immigrants click here to read more
