The Alpha Phi Delta Foundation, Inc. would like to thank and honor John Russo (Psi ’72) for all the years of dedication and love that he has given the Fraternity by announcing the establishment of The John Russo Tribute Fund to Endow the Kleos.

The Foundation’s goal is to raise $75,000 for the Fraternity’s Publications Fund to permanently endow the Kleos and other fraternity publications.

John Russo has served as Kleos Editor for over 30 years and has vastly improved the publication by using modern technology to bring it to the digital age. With his dedication and vision, John was able to bring the 90+ year old publication from a black and white fraternity newsletter to a full color fraternity magazine, adding an electronic version when the technology became available.

All of us enjoy reading the Kleos, which keeps many brothers informed and up to date with the happenings in our Fraternity.

John, besides being an active brother, is also a husband and Dad to 3 daughters. In his spare time, John also serves as the summer convention chairman since the early 2000s, bring attendance from a low of 30 to a high of over 500 in 2014 to celebrate our Centennial!





Tributes to John
To leave a tribute to John email us here.    Leave John some lasting thoughts on the impacts of his efforts.

The Kleos has been my connection to the National Fraternity since becoming a brother at De Paul University’s Beta Mu Chapter in 1974.  Living in Chicago, my Beta Mu brothers and I don’t always feel connected.  It is easy to forget the big picture.  Because of the Kleos connection  I was inspired to join the Board of the APD Foundation.  The Foundation is a continuation of the values that we learned as undergrads, providing scholarships and leadership training, helping brothers in need and keeping our Italian heritage at the forefront.  I cannot thank John enough.  You have played a very important role in my reconnection to the National Fraternity and for that, I will be eternally grateful.
Bob Grecco, Beta Mu ‘74
