History of Alpha Delta Gamma

• Alpha Delta Gamma was founded on October 10, 1924
  
  
• It happened when four undergraduates at Loyola University in Chicago 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., wanted to bring to the campus of Loyola University an organization unlike any other existing at that time.

• Alpha Delta Gamma is Founded on Five Basic Principles, known as the Five S's:
  1. Spiritual
