Adelante Fraternity is an all male social fraternity that was founded at Iowa State University in September 1907. Adelante is one of few fraternities not to adopt Greek letters. Today Adelante is still a local fraternity and is the longest running local fraternity in the nation.〔http://www.adelante.org/about.html〕 ==History== In September, 1907, six students founded a club "to break up a political clique that was controlling campus positions." The men set up high ideals of scholarship, fellowship, leadership and adopted the Spanish word Adelante which means "forward." The Adelante Club was later incorporated as Adelante Fraternity on November 12, 1912. Since that time it has repeatedly turned down requests to become a chapter of a national social fraternity and is today Iowa State's only unaffiliated local fraternity. The founders of Adelante are: Henry Haefner, Rex J. Davidson, Donald T. Griswold, Harold F. Luick, Walter H. Leckliter, and George W. Godfrey. The seeds of Adelante were sown during the 1906-07 school year at a boarding house on Lynn Avenue where the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house now stands. Several of the men who roomed there decided to stay together the next school year and rented a house on Stanton Avenue for the 1907-08 schoolyear. Here the name of Adelante was coined, and a start was made toward an organization based on present needs rather than with the thought of forming a permanent fraternity. In the beginning, the group had rather strong puritanical ideas - no drinking, smoking, and no dancing! Emphasis was placed on scholarship in those days. Social privileges (i.e. dating, and reading of novel and popular magazines during extra hours) were suspended for any members not maintaining good grades. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adelante Fraternity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
