"Brothers in Arms"

The Brothers in Arms statue is a unique memorial to the 2300 men of our fraternity, of Canada and the United States, who served in World War I, and especially for the 93 Brothers who made the supreme sacrifice.

The 88th Convention authorized Capt. Robert Aitken to create the memorial. Capt Aiken's monument and statues may still be seen in many cities throughout the United States, but his major work was the nine figure sculpture of the front of the Supreme Court Building in Washington D.C. The sum of $25,000 was raised by subscription to cover the cost of the memorials, which were then placed in the 26 Chapters then active.

The embodiment of the memorial is a statue in bronze, representing tow young officers, one an American and the other Canadian, wounded and helping each other through the fire of battle. They symbolize brotherhood, service, leadership and the sacrifice and are intended for all time to remind generations of Alpha Delta Phi of the great ideals of the Fraternity.
