History

Upsilon Phi Delta was organized as a collaborative effort of groups at Seton Hall University, Towson University, the University of Baltimore, the University of Memphis, and the University of Scranton.{{Cite web |title=Honor Society |url=https://www.aupha.org/main-site/resourcecenter/currentstudents/honorsociety |access-date=2023-07-24 |website=Association of University Programs in Health Administration}} These groups worked without a constitution to bring about a national society. Later, groups from ten colleges drafted bylaws for the honor society, establishing its charter members on September 1, 1999. These charter members are:

}}The mission of the society is "to recognize, reward, and encourage academic excellence in the study of health administration".{{Cite web |title=National Health Administration Honor Society |url=https://www.unf.edu/brooks/health-administration/upd-honors.html |access-date=2023-07-24 |website=UNF Brooks |language=en}}

Symbols

The name of the society is derived from the Greek words {{lang|grc|Υγείας}} (health), {{lang|grc|Φροντίδα}} (care), and {{lang|grc|Διοίκηση}} (to administer or lead).{{Cite web |date=March 14, 2017 |title=Upsilon Phi Delta Honor's Society Induction {{!}} Public Health & Health Sciences Blog |url=https://blogs.umflint.edu/phhs/2017/03/14/upsilon-phi-delta-honors-society-induction/ |access-date=2023-07-24 |website=University of Michigan Flint}} Its colors are crimson red and blue.
