Alpha Delta Gamma National Fraternity (ΑΔΓ, also known as ADG or Alpha Delt) is a National Catholic Social Fraternity. It is a member organization of the North-American Interfraternity Conference and was founded at Loyola University, Chicago in 1924. The fraternity considers St. Ignatius Loyola as its patron.

In 1924, while riding on the Chicago 'L' four students from Loyola University came up with an idea to create a new fraternity on their campus. This new fraternity would embrace the ideals of the Roman Catholic Church and the Society of Jesus. On October 10 Francis Patrick Canary, John Joseph Dwyer, William S. Hallisey and James Collins O'Brien, Jr. founded Alpha Delta Gamma. The fraternity's ideals are can often be summed up by the "Five S's":

• Spiritual
• Scholastic
• Service
• School Spirit
• Social

To this day, Alpha Delta Gamma has remained a small fraternity. A big selling point for the fraternity is its intimate size where brothers are known by "name not number." Most chapters are located in Catholic Universities.
