Phi Delt takes pride in it’s phil­an­thropic activ­ity, as it has always been part of our back­bone and has helped our broth­er­hood and com­mu­nity at the same time. The fol­low­ing is a list of the phil­an­thropic activ­i­ties that we par­tic­i­pate in:

 Phil­an­thropy: A Cor­ner Stone of Cal Delt

Most of the mem­bers of Cal­i­for­nia Delta come from a his­tory of com­mu­nity ser­vice.  Our chap­ter reflects this with our numer­ous activ­i­ties and involve­ments with phil­an­thropy and com­mu­nity ser­vice.  Out­side of the already sig­nif­i­cant num­ber of com­mit­ments that we have with phil­an­thropy, a num­ber of our mem­bers go out of their way to engage in other phil­an­thropic oppor­tu­ni­ties.  We have mem­bers on plan­ning com­mit­tees for Tro­jan Dance Marathon, Global Med­ical Brigades, and Troy camp, among oth­ers.  Phil­an­thropy offers a tremen­dous oppor­tu­nity for the mem­bers of our chap­ter.  Spend­ing a day with your broth­ers work­ing at a food bank, or any other sort of ser­vice is a fan­tas­tic way to get to know one another.  Plac­ing an empha­sis on com­mu­nity ser­vice allows our mem­bers to develop in a more well-rounded nature through­out their col­lege career.

Phi Delt FIFA is Cal­i­for­nia Delta’s annual phil­an­thropy ben­e­fit­ing the ALS Asso­ci­a­tion.  Each year, mem­bers of the chap­ter, and par­tic­u­larly within the phil­an­thropy com­mit­tee, contribute hun­dreds of hours to putting on a big soc­cer tour­na­ment on McCal­lis­ter field.  The tour­na­ment pits mem­bers from each Pan­hel­lenic Soror­ity in a day long tour­na­ment.  The mem­bers of our chap­ter split up into groups to ‘cap­tain’ soror­i­ties in the event.  The event fea­tures a DJ, numer­ous spon­sors, and par­tic­i­pa­tion from hun­dreds of peo­ple within the USC com­mu­nity.  Last year, the chap­ter used the suc­cess and dif­fer­ent aspects of the event to raise and donate over $3,000 dol­lars to the ALS Association.

We annu­ally devote an entire day, as a chap­ter, to assist­ing with the Los Ange­les County Walk to Defeat ALS held the past two years in Pasadena and Santa Mon­ica, respec­tively.  Each spring, we pair up with Delta Gamma to put on a Prom at the Bel­mont Vil­lage in Hol­ly­wood.  In addi­tion, we are actively involved in a num­ber of other events, includ­ing mak­ing sand­wiches for Troy Camp, paint­ing Easter eggs with soror­i­ties, and par­tic­i­pa­tion in var­i­ous LA char­i­ties, such as the LA food bank.
