Their own history says that they were founded at Union in 1834, and existed for only 25 years before becoming an Alpha Delta Phi chapter. Then the fraternity did not exist at all for 5 years before a second chapter was formed at a secondary school in a different state in 1864. That school, which didn't even exist in 1834, doesn't become a college for two more years until 1866.
No reasonable arguement can be made for that chapter to claim to be any older than 1864.
