Alpha Delta Phi

Alpha Delta Phi, known as ADP, is a coed greek organization whose (very large) house is located on Frat Row. They are known as a sort of alternative to fraternities and sororities and this reputation is reflected by its membership, a collection of bohemian/hipster types. They throw a popular event called "Hot Jazz" every year, although it was cancelled in 2007 due to ADP's inability to get permission from Columbia. This is further evidence that they are different from fraternities, since "real" fraternities don't feel the need to get permission from the university to throw parties.

Famous alumni of the Columbia Chapter of the Alpha Delta Phi include Ben Stein CC '66 and Thomas Merton CC '37
