 | | Ohio Wesleyan was originally Ohio Beta, but with the onset of the Civil War came a drop in numbers, which forced the existing Phi's at Ohio Wesleyan to close, opening the door for Hughes, Miesse, and Shinn to accept their charter. |
 | | William Edwin Williams, Vernon Culver Stiers, and William Alexander Brown became Phi's, sending the chapters numbers past the numbers of Beta Theta Pi and Delta Tau Delta, both of which had been established on the O.U. campus prior to Phi Delta Theta. |
 | | When the war finally ended in 1918, the house at Mulberry Street boasted a list of Phi's that served in the war, all of which could be seen over the fireplace in the main atrium. |
