Almost from its foundation, Hobart College (est. 1822) has had a fraternity system. By 1860, Hobart men had discovered the powerful bonds of brotherhood through membership in the Kappa Alpha Society, KA (1844), followed by Theta Delta Chi, ΘΔX* (1857) and Chi Phi, XΦ (1860). The twentieth century witnessed an explosion of fraternities throughout the nation. Here at Hobart, three more chapters (still active today) were founded: Kappa Sigma, KΣ (1935), Delta Chi, ΔX (1948), and Phi Sigma Kappa, ΦΣK (1950). Today, these 6 chapters provide a band of brothers supporting one another through the rigors of college life, service to the community and unique leadership opportunities.
