Phi Mu's correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the original name was the Philomathean Society (as in FiloMathean.

ADPi did start out as the Adelphian Society, so when they decided to "go greek" they chose the name ADF (as in ADelFian.) Soon, they discovered however that there is an ADF Fraternity, founded in 1832 at Hamilton College. (ADF also uses the name "Adelphian," and its Dartmouth Chapter was the inspiration for "Animal House.")
