Frank Francis, Douglas M. Gaither, Robert B. Hartley, Charles M. Hemstead, Frank B. Jemison, John A. King, Stanley Mullen, Donald H. Price, Allen E. Rupp, Vernie Seibert, Donald Wogaman. The purpose of the founders was the inauguration of a type of fraternity for the development of Christian Character. In the early years of the Great Depression, the chapters at Ohio Wesleyan University, University of Illinois and Butler University went inactive. In 1935, the decision was made to merge with Phi Mu Delta, however the chapter at Purdue University withdrew, eventually affiliating with Alpha Chi Rho. The remaining chapters and alumni merged with Phi Mu Delta in October 1935.[1]
