St. Anthony Hall

St. Anthony Hall at Yale—founded in 1868 as the Sigma Chapter of Delta Psi—occupies a distinctive place among Yale’s “landed” societies as a hybrid literary society, fraternity chapter, and semi-public institution. Originally a residential fraternity for the Sheffield Scientific School, it ceased residential operations in the 1930s with the advent of Yale’s residential colleges, donating the dormitory portion of its building to Yale. Its current home at 483 College Street, funded by Frederick William Vanderbilt and completed in 1913, blends seamlessly into the streetscape near Silliman College, making it one of the more understated society buildings on campus. Known for hosting public lectures and intergenerational events, the Hall also supports Yale students through endowed scholarships and the Chase Coggins Fellowship. Throughout its history, St. A’s has been a welcoming, pioneering community at Yale, and continues to bring together students across backgrounds  starting in their sophomore years for three years of literary, social, and creative engagement.
