Robert Morrison was born on March 15, 1822, and was one of the six founding fathers for the fraternity of Phi Delta Theta. Morrison attended Miami University of Ohio, and in his senior year helped to create the fraternity. One year after The Great Snowball Rebellion of 1847, the immortal six held there first meeting of their organization. The first meeting was in the room of John McMillan Wilson in Old North Hall. The date was December 26, 1848, and then a few days later on January 1, 1849 the first pledge was initiated into the new secret Greek society Phi Delta Theta. Since Morrison is considered to be the founder, his birthday is labeled as Founder’s Day for the fraternity. Morrison and some of the other founding fathers were theologians and that is evident with the role religion plays for the fraternity.
