Alpha Delta Gamma was founded on October 10, 1924 in Chicago, Illinois, on "The L" (the elevated train) when four undergraduates at Loyola University decided to build a union of men based upon the principles and ideals of Ignatius Loyola, Francis Xavier, and Issac Joques.
The "Founding Four," Francis Patrick Canary, John Joseph Dwyer, William S. Hallisey, and James Collins O'Brien, Jr., envisioned a new concept in fraternities and wanted to bring to the campus of Loyola University an organization unlike any other existing at that time.
They saw five specific areas of development for students at Catholic colleges- the spiritual, the scholastic, service to college and community, encouragement of school spirit among fellow students, and the social. In effect, they wanted a fraternity founded upon Christian ideals of true manhood, sound learning, and the unity of fraternal brotherhood. These ideals were decreed the purpose of Alpha Delta Gamma when it first came into being. And so the foundation was set, Alpha Delta Gamma was on its way to becoming a City Walled!
