New Chapter Web Site Goes Live

Today marks the launch of the modernized and improved Alpha Delta Phi Toronto web site, realizing a significant face-lift for our Chapter’s online presence. The new site enlightens potential members on how they can join the Fraternity, chronicles our Chapter’s rich history and traditions, and includes a section for Alumni to keep up to date. The new branding initiative, “People, Place, Purpose,” challenges members to Samuel Eells’ vision to develop “the entire man, to develop his whole being – moral, social, and intellectual.”

This fresh, new look is part of the Alpha Delta Phi Toronto House Company’s plan to revitalize the fraternity through our three-point Fraternity Renewal Plan consisting of phased renovations for the Chapter House and continuing with our recent success in attracting quality members through our Rush program.

Feedback on our new web site is greatly appreciated and should be directed to webmaster@alphadeltaphitoronto.org.
