The University of Missouri-Columbia Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta was founded in 1909. Throughout the year, our chapter participates in numerous activities and events to support our motto, “service to the student, the law school, the profession, and the community.” Our overall goal is to expose our members to the field of law, giving them information that will aid them in deciding their future in the law profession.

      Our chapter meets every Tuesday night, where we work together on brotherhood, service, and the expansion of our knowledge. Throughout the year, we are grateful to have law graduates, attorneys, judges, and other professionals speak to our chapter about the many different paths that can be taken in this field. Each fall, our organization attends a Law School Expo held on campus (Hulston Hall) to give our members face-to-face interaction with more than thirty law schools. With each meeting, we strive to educate our members on; the law school application process, resume building, and information needed for law school interviews.

      Brotherhood is another vital component to our chapter. We organize many service and brotherhood events throughout our fall and spring semesters, to give our members a close-knit community within Phi Alpha Delta. One of our favorite events is “Phi Alpha Donuts” where our brothers stand in Mizzou’s popular "Speaker Circle", and hand out free donuts to students passing through. In the semesters to come we are hoping to expand in membership and provide students with an organization they are proud to talk about beyond their college years.
