Muskingum College

P

hi Kappa Tau was founded on the campus of Miami University in Oxford Ohio in 1906. Four men - Taylor Albert Borradaile, William Henry Shidler, Dwight Ireneus Douglass, and Clinton DeWitt Boyd - came together to crystallize a decade old organization which was initially formed as a political organization on Miami's campus. These men realized the group had developed all the elements of a fundamental brotherhood and hence reformed the organization that would adopt the name Phi Kappa Tau in December 1916.

K

nown as the Alban Club, a group of five men, mostly of Scottish descent, organized ten years later on Muskingum’s campus. Because of the significance of their heritage, they selected a name associated with the traditional Scotch life of independence, loyalty, definite ideals and steadfastness of purpose.

T

he Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity was established in 1969 as the Delta Lambda chapter at Muskingum College from what was the Alban Club. With this transition, this chapter teamed with more than 60 years of heritage with a nationally respected fraternity.
