CCNY (City College of New York)

Alpha Delt had a chapter at CCNY for nearly 75 years and pulled the charter in 1912ish (the school was becoming too Jewish....I know, spomething we are not too proud of now.) It actually became a local called Delta Alpha which survived until somewhere around the mid-seventies TEP actually had a house, but recently lost it

I just came across this thread during a search of my frat, Delta Alpha, at CCNY. What you said is true, but I can state unequivocably it was an incredible experience, both social and academic. The hose was a four story brownstone (five stories, counting the sub-basement) in Manhattan on 467 West 143rd Street, between Convent Ave & Amsterdam Avenues. The house was a gift from an alumni, James K. Hackett, a famous Shakespearean and silent film actor in the late 19th/early 20th century, and several buildings at CCNY are named after brothers of Delta Alpha.
