By the beginning of the twentieth century, the College had established a strong reputation. In 1904, the College relocated to its present site on 52 acres of farmland west of Allentown. Between then and the beginning of World War II, there was considerable growth in the Greek community with the addition of fourteen new or merged fraternities including Phi Kappa Tau (PKT) (1918) and Sigma Phi Epsilon (SPE) (1938). The other two current fraternities were chartered at Muhlenberg College in the latter part of the twentieth century: Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) in 1988 and Delta Tau Delta (DTD) in 1998.
