Biographical / historical:

The Del Rey Club was founded about 1903 as an informal men's living club; it did not achieve the title of 'fraternity' until incorporation in 1940. The fraternity became inactive in 1966, at which time it established a scholarship fund with its remaining assets, administered by alumni of the fraternity who have remained active.
