History
Delphic of Gamma Sigma Tau Fraternity is a historic multicultural fraternity with 138 years of brotherhood and tradition. It is one of the oldest independent fraternities in the country and the first official multicultural fraternity to be formed on the East Coast.
The mission of the organization is to continue the legacy of the historic Delphic Fraternity and promote the awareness of the power of cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity through Gamma Sigma Tau.
The Delphic Fraternity has always been one that does not base brotherhood on the surface of the skin, but on what is beneath it; in the heart and soul.
Since the 1960s Delphic brothers have culturally been of African, Arabic, Asian, Caribbean, German, Greek, Irish, Israeli, Italian, Latino, and Russian descent.
We are pioneers in the concept of multicultural Greek life and will continue to promote our distinguished history and the idea of multiculturalism well into the 21st century.
The organization is a proud founding member of the National Multicultural Greek Council.
