The Story

With 3 fraternities existing at Middlebury College in 1905, the Commons Club (a neutral group of men that didn't associate with any fraternity) wanted a community that represented their priorities. The president of the club and his most enthusiastic members chartered what is now the Kappa Delta Rho Fraternity to encourage fellowship and virtue.
