Phi Delta Theta con­sis­tently has one of the most impres­sive groups of broth­ers who are well rounded in their social and aca­d­e­mic lives. Over the course of the years we have seen the devo­tion to one of Phi Delta Theta’s core val­ues, sound learn­ing, increase beyond belief. Here is a brief snap­shot of the aca­d­e­mic stand­ing of the house:

Above the All Men’s Aver­age for 5th year in a row with 34 Broth­ers on Dean’s List.

Schol­ar­ship Pro­gram at Phi Delt

We take schol­ar­ship very seri­ously here at Phi Delt. Since our re-founding in 2005, we’ve been above the All-Greek aver­age every year, and been in the top 3 of all fra­ter­ni­ties sev­eral times.

We know that when pledg­ing a fra­ter­nity, it can be hard to keep grades up. Our chap­ter takes the aca­d­e­mic per­for­mance of every mem­ber very seri­ously, and takes pride in cul­ti­vat­ing an envi­ron­ment of high aca­d­e­mic achieve­ment. At the begin­ning of each semes­ter, all pledges par­tic­i­pate in a time man­age­ment work­shop from our schol­ar­ship chair that teaches them tips and tricks to stay ahead in school and adjust to a col­lege work­load. After this work­shop, we pro­vide each pledge with a list of on cam­pus resources to aid them in their stud­ies. We also set aside two hours per week for quiet study hours at the house, a manda­tory activ­ity for all pledges. In addi­tion, pledges must get a form signed by each of their pro­fes­sors mid­way through the semes­ter. This form acknowl­edges that the stu­dent has attended at least one office hours meet­ing for the class. This helps to improve our fac­ulty rela­tion­ship on cam­pus. The schol­ar­ship chair is also able to mon­i­tor the per­for­mance of the pledges in their classes this way, and a 3.0 min­i­mum is held for becom­ing a mem­ber in good stand­ing of the fra­ter­nity after pledge semes­ter. A list of active mem­bers in the house with the same major is pro­vided to the pledges, so if they’re hav­ing trou­ble they can seek out help in their spe­cific subject.

We also recently imple­mented a book shar­ing sys­tem, so actives can sell their old books and actives can buy them for their upcom­ing classes at a reduced price.
