Greek Life Facts

We are the longest standing fraternity on SLU's campus, and we believe that is part of what makes us unique among fraternities at Saint Louis University.  This summer we will be celebrating 90 years of tradition and heritage with our Alumni Chapter. We believe that our virtues build men into brothers and through that brotherhood, anything can be accomplished. 

In ΑΔΓ we realize that students come to Saint Louis University with varying levels of interest in the Greek system, trust us, we've been there.  Whether you're a legacy or have never even considered Greek life, we would be honored to have you meet our chapter.

As you found with your college search, all major decisions in life are best made after doing some research.  The same applies to joining a fraternity.  Greek life is much more than the typical Animal House stereotype. It is an investment in your future.  It is a lifelong commitment to a brotherhood whose values and prestige have shaped the lives of men since the era of our grandparents.
