Nu Delta Pi Website - NDP HISTORY:

Nu Delta Pi was formed Nov 9, 1964 on the campus of then Newark State Teachers College. The Founding Fathers of the organization were recruited by the more traditional fraternities on campus at the time, yet were unmoved to pledge. Fraternities married to exclusive identities (Football, Culture, Politics, or Academics) failed to deliver on the expectation of what these young men had in mind. There was something missing…

In this void of excellence, sprung opportunity and they chartered a new fraternity on the basis of the classic virtues: honor, chivalry, excellence, loyalty, the diffusion of culture and brotherhood. To the men of Nu Delta Pi, the virtues embodied in their own daily lives became the basis of the brotherhood, in contrast with a social group built on a common recreation.
In short time, Nu Delta Pi became a force on campus not only in quantity of brothers, but in the more important measurement, quality. NDP recruited leaders in student government, the newspaper, sports and academics—everyone wanted a piece of PI. The 60s were good to Nu Delta Pi as for most Greek letter organizations. However, Nu Delta Pi was building more than just a name for itself, it was building a solid foundation of principles, ideals to carry it through the century in a leadership position.
The ensuing years brought new challenges to Greek Life, Campus Life and the secondary education system in general. Nu Delta Pi has risen to accept each successive challenge and to come away with new victories at each turn.
Today, Nu Delta Pi, unlike many of its rivals from the 60s, 70s and 80s is still a vital organization on the campus of Kean University. Facing new challenges every day, Nu Delta Pi is committed to providing a quality experience based to the young men enrolled in serious study at KU. Nu Delta Pi is further distinguished from other fraternities on campus as an independent, local that is not co-ed.
Nu Delta Pi has adapted to the changing environment year after year, not by giving up its fundamentals or principles, but by sticking to them.
