About Phi Delta Phi:
Established in the year 1869 to promote a higher standard of professional
ethics, Phi Delta Phi is among the oldest of legal organizations in North
America.
The Fraternity was established only six months after the Columbus, Ohio Bar Association
and almost nine years before the American Bar Association. It holds a unique position in
the history of the North American bench, bar and the law schools. During the past two
decades, Phi Delta Phi's reputation as an organization devoted to legal excellence
has begun to spread into México and Europe.
Phi Delta Phi has active chapters – called Inns at law schools and Halls at undergraduate
schools -- in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Germany, and Poland. Since its
founding in 1869, Phi Delta Phi has initiated over 20,000 members.
PHI DELTA PHIs
More judges, American presidents, governors, senators, representatives, cabinet members,
ambassadors, American Bar Association presidents, Association of American Law School
presidents, and law school Deans have come from the ranks of Phi Delta Phi than from any other
legal society.

Different individuals seek different goals and
objectives:
There are those who believe that camaraderie,
good fellowship, and promotion of the
highest standards of professional and
personal ethics justify affiliation.
Others seek more tangible benefits:
scholarships, regional and international
meetings and conventions, and other
benefits made possible by membership.

importance of adherence to high standards of
professional ethics, integrity, character and
