​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. Alpha Phi Delta was born in this scenario; click here to read our early history.
