Phi Delta Kappa (fraternity)

Phi Delta Kappa (ΦΔΚ) was an American collegiate fraternity which dissolved in 1881.

History
It was founded in 1874 at Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania when a chapter of Iota Alpha Kappa resolved to continue after Iota Alpha Kappa's dissolution. A total of five chapters were formed, but by 1880, four of the five, except for Washington & Jefferson College had become extinct. That chapter sought to survive by joining another fraternity. In 1881, the Washington & Jefferson College chapter joined Phi Gamma Delta, taking the designation of Alpha chapter, a designation that had belonged to the founding chapter of Phi Gamma Delta at Jefferson College.

Chapters
Five chapters were established, but all failed by 1880 except for the Alpha chapter which was absorbed to restore the Alpha chapter of Phi Gamma Delta. Following is a list of the chapters of Phi Delta Kappa.
