The Founders of Phi Mu Delta
The Phi Mu Delta story begins in many ways in 1913, with the founding of a Commons Club at Connecticut College, the Delta Kappa Commons Club at the New Hampshire State College, and a Commons Club at the University of Vermont. By 1916, all three would join what was then the National Federation of Commons Clubs (NFCC). During what was a heightened period of growth for the NFCC, the formation of a Greek-letter fraternity and more structured order was discussed over the course of three conventions in 1916, 1917, and 1918.

The 1918 convention split into two separate meetings, with Union College, Connecticut College, University of Vermont, and New Hampshire State College delegates retiring. The Commons Clubs at the Connecticut College, University of Vermont, and New Hampshire State College would ratify the plan to form the Phi Mu Delta national fraternity. Drawing numbers, they decided on the chapter designates of “Nu Alpha” for Connecticut College, “Nu Beta” for New Hampshire State College, and “Nu Gamma” for the University of Vermont.
