Phi Delta Theta is Over Halfway to 5,000 New Members — Help Us Reach the Finish Line

Phi Delta Theta is Over Halfway to 5,000 New Members — Help Us Reach the Finish Line

In August 2024, Phi Delta Theta General Headquarters called all Phis to help with recruitment for the 2024-25 academic year. We’re excited to announce that Phi Delta Theta is over halfway to our goal of recruiting 5,000 new members! Thanks to the dedication of our chapters and the support of alumni and friends, we have welcomed over 3,000 new members. With the momentum from this fall, we’re on track to reach our target, especially with spring recruitment just around the corner.

Spring Recruitment is Almost Here!

Throughout the semester, Phi Delta Theta’s staff provide the resources, marketing assistance, and support necessary to help all chapters meet their growth goals. High-performing chapters will be rewarded with a variety of incentives, making this collective effort an enjoyable and positive experience for everyone.

How can you help us hit this milestone? Your involvement makes a difference! Here’s how you can support our mission:

Refer a Future Phi: Know a young man who embodies Phi Delt’s values? Share his name with us so we can connect.

Share Our Story: Follow Phi Delta Theta on social media, and amplify our posts by sharing them with your network.

Engage Locally: Whether it’s assisting with recruitment, mentoring young members, or just showing up, your presence matters.

As we approach spring, let’s keep the momentum going strong! Together, we can make a lasting impact and ensure that the legacy of Phi Delta Theta continues to thrive. Thank you for being a part of this journey!

Expanding to New Campuses

This year, Phi Delta Theta is growing stronger than ever! This fall, we proudly expanded and returned to four campuses: Grand Valley State University, Ohio State University, Florida State University, and Rutgers University, introducing our brotherhood to even more campus communities.

Looking ahead to the spring, we’re excited to announce expansions to California State University, Fullerton with the California Alpha Alpha Chapter and return to Georgia College & State University with the Georgia Zeta Chapter.

You can help these chapters thrive by referring potential new members who embody the principles of Phi Delta Theta. Additionally, if you are an alumnus in these areas, we encourage you to volunteer for the Chapter Advisory Board (CAB) to help guide and support these chapters as they grow. Together, let’s Transmit Greatness to these new communities!

About Transmit Greatness

Guided by The Bond, our founders envisioned Phi Delta Theta as a fraternity grounded in Friendship, Sound Learning, and Rectitude, believing these values would inspire members to lead virtuous lives and positively influence the world. Over 175 years, through member dedication, Phi Delta Theta has evolved into a premier fraternal leadership society, offering transformative experiences and fostering community that profoundly impacts countless lives.

Looking ahead, the Fraternity must remain agile to meet the evolving needs of current and future members. Today, Phi Delta Theta faces a critical juncture amidst challenges such as declining college attendance, the struggle of many to find their place, and escalating mental health issues. It falls upon us, as fraternity men, to step forward as a steadfast source of support during this pivotal time.

As our Founder Robert Morrison once said, “To do what ought to be done, but would not have been done unless I did it, I thought to be my duty.” It is up to our community to transmit greatness to the future generation of Phis, especially those who may not yet realize the lifelong benefits our brotherhood provides.

Starting this fall, Phi Delta Theta General Headquarters is calling on all chapters to help us welcome 5,000 new members. We are challenging the Phi Delt nation to transmit greatness by referring and recruiting young men who exemplify our values. By highlighting the benefits and opportunities of membership in Phi Delta Theta, we can help more young men navigate life’s challenges with the support of a community dedicated to their personal and professional growth.

Celebrating Recruitment Success

Each chapter was given a strategic recruitment challenge tailored to their campus’s growth potential, past recruitment trends, and the number of brothers graduating this year. Chapters that meet or exceed their recruitment goals won’t just be doing what ought to be done—they’ll also be entered into a drawing to win one of many incentives.

Congratulations to the following chapters who reached their goal:
