The Delphic Society was founded in 1871 at the Geneseo State Normal School in upstate New York. With affiliations at other schools, the literary society became known as The Delphic Fraternity. Delphic eventually became a statewide fraternity with chapters at Oneonta, Jamaica, Cortland, New Paltz, Plattsburgh, Potsdam, NY and Mansfield, Pennsylvania. By the late 1930s, only the Zeta chapter at New Paltz remained officially active.
In the fall of 1962, the organization became a legal non-profit membership entity by incorporating as The Delphic Fraternity of New Paltz, Inc. In the spring of 2003, the Theta chapter at Binghamton was founded, becoming the first Delphic chapter established in the 21st century. Today the organization is incorporated as The Delphic Fraternity, Inc., and does business as Delphic of Gamma Sigma Tau Fraternity. In the fall of 2006, the organization became 135 years old.
