The Delphic Society was founded in 1871 at the Geneseo State Normal School in upstate New York.[1] With affiliations at other schools, the literary society became known as The Delphic Fraternity.[2] Delphic eventually became a regional fraternity with chapters at Oneonta, Jamaica, Cortland, New Paltz, Plattsburgh, Potsdam, NY and Mansfield, Pennsylvania. By the late 1930s, only the Zeta chapter at New Paltz remained officially active.[3]
In the fall of 1962, the organization became a legal not-for-profit membership entity by incorporating as The Delphic Fraternity of New Paltz, Inc. In the spring of 2003, the Theta chapter at Binghamton was founded, becoming the first Delphic chapter established in the 21st century. In the spring of 2009, the first Delphic chapter outside of the Northeast Region was chartered at the University of Virginia. The Kappa Chapter of Delphic is also the first multicultural fraternity to be established at UVA.
Today the organization is incorporated as The Delphic Fraternity, Inc. and does business as Delphic of Gamma Sigma Tau Fraternity.[4]
