rdf:langString Phi Beta Delta (ΦΒΔ) was a college social fraternity in the United States founded at Columbia University on April 12, 1912. In 1941 the fraternity merged with Pi Lambda Phi. There were eight founders: Null would go on to become a NY State Appellate Judge, serving in that role from 1943-'49 The Founders stated, "Its purpose is to inculcate among its membership a fine spirit of loyalty, activity and scholarship toward their Alma Mater, to develop the highest ideals of conduct and to promote a close fraternal bond through means of carefully selected associates." While entering the ranks of national fraternities somewhat later than its national peers, the organization quickly grew with chapters quickly formed at a number of eastern schools. In 1934, Phi Beta Delta absorbed the UPenn chapter of Omicron Alpha Tau, a smaller Jewish fraternity that was dispersing that year. This group either merged with the existing Phi Beta Delta chapter on the campus, or re-established it. Four of ΟΑΤ's other chapters went to Tau Delta Phi. Phi Beta Delta effectively merged into Pi Lambda Phi on February 1, 1941. Baird's (19th ed.) notes the merger documents were signed on October 1, 1940. At the time, Pi Lambda Phi had 20 active chapters and Phi Beta Delta had 16. Considering duplications, the combined post-merger fraternity had a net of 33 chapters. All members and alumni of Phi Beta Delta were admitted into Pi Lambda Phi.
