Carrying the Torch<br />
General Council President J. David Almacy<br />
on building upon the Fraternity’s legacy<br />
From the Archives<br />
George Banta, Franklin 1876, was elected, by unanimous consent, as the first<br />
president of the General Council of Phi Delta Theta at the 1880 Convention<br />
at the Grand Hotel in Indianapolis. George, at the young age of twenty-three,<br />
when elected, went on to serve as president through 1882. He eventually<br />
became known as a Second Founder of Phi Delta Theta. Much of what we<br />
know today—our ritual, the General Council, provinces, province presidents,<br />
countless chapters, and The Scroll—are tied back to the service of George<br />
Banta. Pictured above, George Banta’s presidential badge.<br />
