We, the undersigned chapters are fully committed to independence from national Alpha Phi Omega. Under the principles set forth by Frank Reed Horton, we are committed to establishing a new national fraternity. With recognition that service is a civic duty of college men, our fraternity shall have a primary devotion to service and brotherhood. We are committed to the history, tradition and values of individual chapters. We are committed to following our respective college’s policies regarding social organizations.  We are committed to safeguarding all proceedings of the committee. We welcome each of the ALL MALE CHAPTERS to petition the committee for involvement with the new fraternity. We are committed to the governing body as the voice and authority of the committee. We are committed to fundraising for this fraternity. Signed this 4th day of August, 2007, 15 men of Alpha Phi Omega delegates from four chapters.

And thus, Alpha Delta National Fraternity was born.
