The Beginnings of Alpha Gamma Rho start in 1912 with the foundation of the Caduceus chapter at Cornell University. The founders were a close knit group of men dedicated to issues concerning agriculture. On December 19, 1914, Caduceus received a charter from Alpha Gamma Rho national and has Zeta Chapter ever since. The first AGR house sat at 409 Dryden Ave until 1916 when a new house was built at 203 Highland Ave, the present location of the house. Since 1914, Alpha Gamma Rho has been the home to over 1700 men. Alpha Gamma Rho (AGR) is the national agricultural fraternity, with sixty two chapters across the United States. AGR boasts a rich tradition of close brotherhood, good times, and prides itself on its reputation of being a friendly fraternity. For over seventy years, Cornell's Zeta chapter has been the home for over 1800 members who have gone on to become leaders in many diverse fields. We feel that AGR is a close knit group of individuals because many of our brothers are closely associated with agriculture, which allows us to form incredibly strong bonds of friendship unparalleled in many fraternity experiences. However, a surprising number of our brothers are not from agricultural backgrounds, which contributes to our amazing diversity. Brothers of Alpha Gamma Rho are also extremely busy with organizations outside of the house such as philanthropies and community service, varsity and intramural sports, as well as the Cornell Inter-fraternity Council. Whether it means holding social events, or just hanging out together, we form friendships that last forever. In a place as big as Cornell University, it's nice to have a place to call home, a place where we call each other brothers and friends, and a place that makes our college years some of the most rewarding years of our lives. For us, we call this place Alpha Gamma Rho.

Purpose: To Make Better Men, and through them a broader and better agriculture by surrounding members with influences tending to encourage individual endeavor, resourcefulness, and aggressive effort along lines making for the development of better mental, social, moral, and physical qualities; to promote a wider acquaintance and a broader outlook on the part of agricultural men through fellowship in a national organization that stands for the best social, mental, and moral development.

Alpha Phi was the first American college sorority. It was founded at Syracuse University in 1872, where Alpha Chapter still exists. At its formation the sisterhood numbered ten women. One of these was Martha Foote Crowe, who later became Alpha Phi's first president. "Pursuing their studies in a thoroughly male-dominated environment, these women had a pressing need for friends who could sympathize with each other's problems and support each other's aspirations."(The Ivy Leaf) In addition, Alpha Phi organized the first interfraternity association, known today as the National Panhellenic Conference, in 1902 when they called the first successful inter-sorority meeting with Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, and Delta Delta Delta. Alpha Phi is now an international fraternity having over 140 chapters throughout the United States and Canada. Alpha Phi has a membership of over 100,000 women and approximately 4,500 women pledge Alpha Phi every year. Objective/Aim of Sorority: At all times, it is our aim to consciously endeavor to promote the highest ideals of womanhood. In our effort to become more effective and contributing members of society, we shall strive for growth of character, intellectual development and excellence of scholarship, as well as to perfect our leadership capabilities. In all that we do, we shall encourage unity of feeling, sisterly affection, and social communion. We shall employ the principles of justice and right and give and receive mutual criticism in a spirit of love. As we search for truth and individual growth, we shall be mindful of our personal conduct. Our attitudes, beliefs and actions must in no way reflect a damaging influence on the image of our Chapter or Fraternity, or our sisters individually. We shall endeavor to represent the best in culture and refinement. We shall abide by the Constitution, Standing Rules and Collegiate Chapter Operations Manual of Alpha Phi International Fraternity. Specifically, we wish to instill and preserve individual integrity and excellence of personals standards befitting an Alpha Phi. (Taken from Collegiate Chapter Operations Manual)
Cornell Chapter History: Delta Chapter's history begins with a visit by two Syracuse Alpha Phis in early 1889 for the purpose of beginning a chapter at Cornell. These visitors pledged four Cornell women who then pledged five more. In February 1889, Alpha initiated these nine women in a ceremony held at the Ithaca Hotel. Delta Chapter has been located in a number of places during its years of existence. First housed in Sage College, the chapter moved there in 1898. A house unit was tried from 1907-8 at 214 Eddy Street but failed as the sisters felt they lost interest in University affairs. The chapter remained in Sage College until 1917 when a shortage of housing forced University officials to request that organized groups find their own houses. Delta rented Alpha Zeta's house at 214 Thurston Ave. for the year 1917-8. 1918-1921 were spent at 114 Kelvin Place. In 1921, this house was sold necessitating a move. 411 Thurston, a house built by Amy Cooper Wurster (Alpha '91) was purchased and has remained the chapter house ever since. The original house, pictures of which may be seen in old Cornelians, was enlarged twice. Once in 1937, when the side wings were added and again in 1961, when the new wing was built.
Philanthropy: Since 1946, Alpha Phi has focused on heart disease and cardiac care as a philanthropic priority. Today, research into the diagnosis and treatment of women's heart disease in a special interest of the Alpha Phi Foundation. Gender differences in diagnosing and treating cardiac health problems are becoming widely recognized, and donors can make a difference for thousands of women through gifts to the Alpha Phi Foundation. The Foundation funds educational programming in the areas of alcohol and AIDS awareness, women's health and safety, and other Watch Care programs developed for Alpha Phi collegiate chapters. The Foundation also funds the educational training sessions at Convention and Leadership Conferences that help officers develop the skills necessary to assume strong leadership roles within their chapters, as well as in the future. Participants in Convention and Leadership Conferences learn new insights into building effective teams and improving relationships, which they, in turn, use to enhance their chapters. The Foundation also supports women in all stages of their education. Undergraduate and graduate scholarships are awarded to Alpha Phi collegians and alumnae every year. Nontraditional educational scholarships are also available to Alpha Phi women who need additional course work for certification, career advancement or to reenter the work force.

Alpha Xi Delta was founded in 1893 by ten young women at Lombard College, Galesburg, Illinois, who shared a vision and a dream of a national organization dedicated to the personal growth of women. One of the oldest women's fraternities, Alpha Xi Delta is proud of its rich history. As one of the ten founding fraternities of the National Panhellenic Conference, it was Alpha Xi Delta's first NPC Chairman who wrote the Panhellenic Creed, which is still recited on college campuses today. Since that time more than a 100 years ago, the spirit of Alpha Xi Delta has enriched the lives of thousands of women throughout the world with its emphasis on lifelong learning and lasting friendship. Now a national fraternity with more than 120,000 initiated members, Alpha Xi Delta has grown into a progressive and forward-thinking organization with college chapters and alumnae associations throughout the United States. The ideals envisioned by our Founders are timeless and have remained constant throughout the years, inspiring pride in each member to pursue individual excellence. Our Founders left us a great legacy--they taught us the value of education because it would free us to achieve our goals and give us the power to be whatever we choose to be. They taught us to support one another through shared experiences and understanding. They taught us to serve others--to reach out to those less fortunate to make their lives better. It is these ideals of personal development, scholarship, friendship, and civic responsibility that we embrace and bring to every Alpha Xi Delta member.

Delta Phi seeks to establish and promote strong and successful chapters built upon our core principles of:

Brotherhood: Our goal for each chapter is to create an organization built upon a standard of excellence for brotherhood. We recognize the value of a diverse membership, the importance of mutual respect, and the virtue of life-long bonds of brotherhood. We are highly selective in accepting colonization requests. We believe very strongly in accepting only those men who seek to build lasting friendships based in principle, maintained with integrity, and celebrated over generations.

Literature: Since its founding over 180 years ago, members of Delta Phi have placed a strong emphasis on intellectual vigor and personal leadership. As a brotherhood we seek men of talent who will benefit from joining our organization. Our brotherhood is dedicated to encouraging and enabling the diverse talents of each member while undergraduates and throughout their lives and careers.

Morality: Character is fundamental in establishing and sustaining the bonds of brotherhood. As brothers, we share in each other's successes, and support each other in struggles. Character and morality are fundamental to leadership in our personal lives, in our brotherhood, and in our community. We strive to create chapters and members marked by their integrity, ability, and trustworthiness.

The history of Delta Tau Delta at Cornell began in January 1889, with the initiation of twelve young men into the newly formed Beta Omicron chapter. From that day forward, Delt has been a constant presence in Ithaca, and is the oldest continuously chartered fraternity at Cornell. More than 1,500 Cornellians have been initiated and had their lives enriched by this chapter. Our shelters, the original at 110 Edgemore Lane and the current at 104 Mary Anne Wood Dr, have served as housing for generations of men. More than simply housing, however, the Shelter is a perpetual home for all Delts, from the undergraduates who live here to the alumni who return each year for Homecoming festivities. The bond of brotherhood established within stretches across the years, uniting graduates from the Class of '09 with those from the Class of '49. It connects rising sophomores with men such as Willard Dickerman Straight, who served as Beta Omicron chapter president, and Jim Casey, who founded Cayuga's Waiters in 1949. The Delt experience at Cornell offers a unique link to the university's history, and an exemplary path for any young man's future.

On May 24, 1913, Harold A. Severy, an alumnus of the Middlebury chapter doing graduate study here at Cornell University, founded KDR's second chapter. The original twenty-three members of Beta chapter made their home at the local YMCA, and the chapter remained active until the first World War, when it closed temporarily. Beta chapter was refounded in 1920 and moved to 306 Highland Road (next door to our present address). The house continued to grow throughout the 1920s and was a strong athletic fraternity during the 1930s, winning, perhaps for the last time in history, Cornell's all-sports trophy in 1935. The chapter closed again (as did all Kappa Delta Rho chapters) for the second World War, and was refounded by local alumni in the spring of 1950. In 1952 we moved into our current address at 312 Highland Road, and in 1964, a new wing including a kitchen, a dining room, and several new study rooms was added to keep up with the increasing needs of the brotherhood. The house itself has an interesting history as well. It was built in 1909 as an experiment by Cornell University's architecture school - all the outside walls of the original structure are made entirely of poured cement.

In the fall of 1883, five women at Cornell University applied to Kappa Kappa Gamma for a charter and became Psi chapter three weeks later. They joined a strong and successful Greek system which was stated by a Psi historian to be "deeply imbedded in Cornell, both for men and women." In 1921, the chapter raised enough funds to buy a house at 508 Thurston Avenue which is still the same location of the sorority house today.
Since the beginning days, Psi chapter has upheld very high ideals, both for themselves and for their community. In 1961, the Dean of Students said of Psi, "The women of Psi chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma have made the Panhellenic Creed a living reality on our campus and the student community has profited from their positive leadership." This leadership continues today as evidenced by the many Greek awards and recognition that Psi chapter receives each year. The women of Psi chapter have also taken their leadership skills beyond college with their extensive amount of Kappa Achievement Alumnae Awards.
Each year, during spring rush, it has been the hope of every sister that new pledges are chosen that will be as faithful and enthusiastic to carry out the ideals of Psi chapter that were established in 1883 and since upheld.

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C., January 9, 1914, by three young African-American male students. The Founders, Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown, wanted to organize a Greek letter fraternity that would truly exemplify the ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, and service.

The Founders deeply wished to create an organization that viewed itself as "a part of" the general community rather than "apart from" the general community. They believed that each potential member should be judged by his own merits, rather than his family background or affluence…without regard to race, nationality, skin tone or texture of hair. They desired for their fraternity to exist as part of an even greater brotherhood which would be devoted to the "inclusive we" rather than the "exclusive we".

From its inception, the Founders also conceived Phi Beta Sigma as a mechanism to deliver services to the general community. Rather than gaining skills to be utilized exclusively for themselves and their immediate families, they held a deep conviction that they should return their newly acquired skills to the communities from which they had come. This deep conviction was mirrored in the Fraternity's motto, "Culture For Service and Service For Humanity".

In March of 1918, the Beta Phi Fraternity was founded here at Cornell University. Under the supervision of Miss Louise Case, Beta Phi began working toward its goal of petitioning for a charter of Pi Beta Phi. The future 13 charter members had to submit to the closest investigation as to character, activities, scholarship, and personality. These women were as follows: Helen Miriam Sharrett, Margaret Lounsbury Winfield, Josephine Augusta Sniffen, Mary Alexandria Wheeler, Cornelia Elizabeth Lerch, Evelyn Gertrude Richmond, Elizabeth Dorothy Worman, Grace Brown Blauvelt, Eleanor Margaret Edmonds,Mary Irene Frank and Alice Juliet Street.

On June 14, 1919, the Beta Phi Fraternity of Cornell University became a chapter of Pi Beta Phi. These founding sisters of New York Delta meeting Risley Hall, a new dormitory for women at the time. After receiving their charter, they rented a small bungalow on Eddy Street-- the first New York Delta sorority house. From Eddy, Pi Beta Phi moved to Kelvin Place.

Sigma Chi, the second largest fraternity in the nation, is one of the most influential and highly respected at Cornell. In our 105 years, the Alpha Phi chapter has been characterized by its tight-knit brotherhood and commitment to excellence in academics and athletics. Since 1925, Sigma Chi brothers have made their home in elegant Greystone Manor. The extensive grounds feature beautiful medieval stonework, and a park-like backyard complete with a spacious in-ground swimming pool and small gorge. Sigma Chi brothers actively participate in many influential roles on the hill. The brotherhood boasts both varsity and junior varsity athletes in soccer, baseball, football, basketball, rugby, skiing, squash and water polo. In addition, we have several campus leaders including members of the Interfraternity Council, the ROTC and Student Wishmakers. Our largest philanthropic effort, Derby Days, has traditionally been one of the most lucrative and largely attended charity events on campus. The Alpha Phi chapter of Sigma Chi has long been dedicated to being the premier fraternity at Cornell and our success can only be attributed to the outstanding individuals who make up our brotherhood. Sigma Chi welcomes you to rush and we look forward to seeing you at Greystone.

In 1993, six women recognized a need for diversity and wanted to create a voice for women on their campus. They sought out an organization that would inspire them with its professionalism, determination, leadership, cultural awareness, academic excellence, and most of all everlasting sisterhood. When they came across Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Se├▒oritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. they felt and knew that this was the one. The Iota Chapter of Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Se├▒oritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. has strived to create a unique organization for women that fosters leadership, a dedication to community service, respect, support, student activism and cultural awareness.
Even at its most challenging times, the Hermanas of the Iota Chapter have held a strong commitment to these goals and ideals. They have harnessed academic and cultural resources to bring innovative, challenging programming to Cornell's campus. Such programing has covered themes as varied as the Indigenous and African aspects of Latino-Caribbean cultures, career opportunities within public service, the depiction of Hip Hop culture in the media and the role of the visual arts in activism.

Sigma Phi was founded on March 4, 1827. It expanded to its second chapter in 1830 making it the first national fraternity. Cornell's chapter of Sigma Phi, the Epsilon of New York, was founded in 1890 with the help of Andrew Dickson White - Cornell University's first President and a Sigma Phi from Hobart College. Its original members believed that a relatively small group of brothers would perpetuate a close-knit organization and enduring friendships. The privilege of brotherhood brings challenges and achievements that will never be forgotten. For well over a century the society has held to this ideal. The membership has been maintained at roughly thirty brothers, a number unique among leading houses at Cornell. We enjoy a prime location on West Campus and boast first rate facilities including single rooms for most brothers and our own indoor squash court. Sigma Phi is a diverse society. Its members are some of the most accomplished Cornellians. The alumni of Sigma Phi are strong and dedicated – offering the nation's largest fraternal scholarship fund to qualified actives and bringing famous speakers to campus through the Oliphant Distinguished Speakers Fellowship. We at Sigma Phi understand the magnitude of the decision one makes when committing to a fraternity and we encourage you to stop by to learn what makes Sigma Phi special.

Founded on February 26, 1897 at Vincennes University by William Raper Kennedy, James Thompson Kingsbury, George Martin Patterson, and Rolin Rosco James, it started as Tau Phi Delta (ΤΦΔ), a literary society with fraternal ideals. Tau Phi Delta changed its name to The Sigma Pi Fraternity, United States in 1907 and began establishing new chapters that same year. With the establishment of the Fraternity's first Canadian chapter in 1984, the organization's name was changed to The Sigma Pi Fraternity, International. The Fraternity was the first of its kind to be founded west of the Ohio Valley and a charter member of the North-American Interfraternity Conference. Today, Sigma Pi consists of 136 active collegiate groups, dozens of alumni clubs, and over 100,000 initiates.

The Zeta Psi Fraternity of North America was founded June 1, 1847 as a social college fraternity. The organization now comprises about fifty active chapters and twenty-five inactive chapters, encompassing roughly twenty thousand brothers, and is a member of the North-American Interfraternity Conference. It has historically been selective about the campuses at which it establishes chapters, focusing on forging new territory and maintaining a presence at prestigious institutions: it was the first Fraternity on the West Coast at the University of California at Berkeley June 10, 1870, the first Fraternity in Canada at the University of Toronto, March 27, 1879, and the only Fraternity to have chapters simultaneously at all eight Ivy League schools with the chartering of Eta at Yale University in 1889 (though this claim lasted only a few years, owing to burgeoning faculty opposition to the Princeton chapter). The fraternity became bi-continental on May 3, 2008 with the chartering of Iota Omicron at the University of Oxford .
The Greek letters of the Fraternity are the capital letters Zeta and Psi: ΖΨ.
It's considered by many scholars to be one of the most secretive Fraternities.
Its international headquarters is located in Pearl River, New York.
