The Fort Armstrong Name
The original Fort Armstrong at Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, is the founding site of Phi Gamma Delta. The Founders first met in John T. McCarty’s upstairs corner room in the boarding house known as “Fort Armstrong.” The building was torn down in 1916 despite efforts by the Fraternity to purchase it. The Fraternity was able, however, to buy the foundation stones, and gave two to each chapter.
