St. Anthony Hall

St. Anthony Hall was founded as the Fraternity of Delta Psi on January 17, 1847, at Columbia University in New York. The Hall is named for St. Anthony the Great, whose feast day is January 17. The organization began as a true fraternity dedicated to a love of education and the well-being of its members. Throughout the mid-1800’s, chapters were founded throughout the Northeast and extended into the South. St. Anthony Hall prides itself on a history of inclusivity. The Hall was among the first fraternal organizations to accept women. The chapter at UNC was also a pioneer on its campus. In 1967, it became the first fraternal organization at UNC to accept a person of color. To this day, the members of St. Anthony Hall remain a group of college students interested in the bonds of siblinghood who share a common passion for the love of learning and an appreciation for a well-rounded education.
