The Adelphikos () is a social fraternity formed in 1913 at Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania. Today a memorial plaque to the four students sits on campus in front of Buhl Library. Although no alcohol was involved and the driver was deemed to be at fault, the incident triggered tightened control of fraternity practices and other student activities at the college. It remains one of the deadliest fraternity-related accidents in the United States.
In the aftermath of the pledge deaths, the fraternity experienced setbacks, struggling in the late 1970s, with members committing violations of campus rules that resulted in the loss of college recognition during the 1990s.
