- ^ a b c This chapter began at DeWitt Clinton High School, a preparatory school. The founders entered college between 1910 or 1912? (Alpha) and 1914 (Beta and Gamma), taking the fraternity with them, changing its name to Tau Delta Phi, and establishing several chapters. Alpha, Beta, and Gamma chapters stem from this root, though their creation of the fraternity pre-dates their entering their respective colleges in some cases by several years.
