Need a Frat Historian to help ID a 1905 item!

[Dana Winston]

Not your typical chat topic but need a frat historian to help me identify a 1905 pennant I own. The call letters are Phi Kappa Delta. Does this frat still exist? Does anyone have any history on this organization? The pennant was found with a group of possessions from a Norwich University(VT)alum.. Thanks very much! Dana

Have you tried going to a search engine and entering the name as an exact phrase?

There's nothing on the Norwich website. This may be a local fraternity that is now defunct.

I would contact the alumni association at Norwich.

I checked an old edition of Baird's Manual, but the only mention of Phi Kappa Delta is under Delta Sigma Phi, where a local organization at Stetson University was founded in 1898 at Phi Kappa Delta. Under Norwich though, there was a reference to Pi Kappa Delta as a recognition society, although it wasn't founded until 1965 (or so Baird's says). Sorry I couldn't be more help.
