Adelante

Name: Adelante

In September 1907, six students founded a club "to break up a political clique that was controlling campus positions." The men set up high ideals of scholarship, fellowship, and leadership. The group adopted the Spanish word Adelante, which means "forward." Adelante Club was incorporated as Adelante Fraternity on November 12, 1912. Since that time, Adelante has repeatedly turned down offers to become a chapter of a national social fraternity and has remained Iowa State's only independent local fraternity. Adelante has additionally been recognized as the longest, continuously operating local fraternity in the nation.
