Delta Phi is nicknamed the St. Elmo s Club, after the patron saint of the fraternity. On many campuses, such as the University of Virginia and the University of Pennsylvania, our chapters are primarily known by this nickname . At schools such as Princeton and Harvard, Delta Phi has transformed into dining clubs due to anti-fraternity sentiment that existed on their campuses. Regardless of each chapter's status on their campus, there remains a national effort to maintain the traditions upon which Delta Phi was founded. Delta Phi has many notable alumni including Robert S. Perry, Charles Scribner, John Jacob Astor, J. P. Morgan, and the Harper Brothers.
Chapters have strong ties to one another and tend to visit often.
Also, every fall a national convention is held that brings all the chapters together to discuss the fraternity's concerns and triumphs. The Omega Alpha Chapter of the Delta Phi Fraternity at the College of William and Mary maintains a strong tie to its national organization, drawing strength from the traditions and resources that it provides while contributing to our commitment to excellence toward its national initiative.
