Union Triad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Union Triad is a term used to refer to three general fraternities all founded at Union College in Schenectady, New York: the Kappa Alpha Society (established 1825), Sigma Phi (1827) and Delta Phi (1827). No formal organization exists.

These three organizations are the oldest continuously existing Greek-letter social fraternities in North America. Union College along with Miami University (for the "Miami Triad") are considered the "Mother of Fraternities."

Other Fraternities who owe their birth to Union College include:

• Kappa Alpha Society,
• Sigma Phi,
• Delta Phi,
• Psi Upsilon, and
• Chi Psi
• Theta Delta Chi
