Historical NoteReturn to Top
The first literary society at Albany College was a men's organization called Sigma Phi organized in the fall of 1867. Sigma Phi had the responsibility of managing the College's library, which was donated to the College by the city of Albany's Library and Literary Institute. In 1880 Sigma Phi re-organized under the new name, Albany College Literary Society. For a short time in the early 1880s, the Albany College Literary Society merged with Albany's women's literary society, the Erodelphians. The merger was short-lived and the societies split are resumed individual self-governance. The last documented activity of Sigma Phi occurred on March 13, 1899.
