Com– posed of a group of enterprising undergraduates, their aim was to advance social and literary culture at Colgate. In 1916, after applying for admission, the Madison Club was disbanded, and there grew up in its place the New York Delia Gamma chapter of Alpha Tau Omega. Growing in interest and strength, the chapter erected its present dwelling in 1928, and join– ed the other houses on Fraternit.y Row. The house, whose terrace slopes down to Taylor Lake, is a Lasting tribute to those hard-working members of the once famous Madison Club. So much for history and now for a little current events.
