Social

Every year the broth­ers of Phi Delta Theta have made it their goal to have a strong social pres­ence on the row. As such, every year we sched­ule a cal­en­dar filled with events with every soror­ity. Whether it’s tail­gat­ing dur­ing game days or for­mal in Las Vegas, we are always find­ing ways to make the semes­ter a fan­tas­tic time for every brother. No mat­ter what you will always be able to find a group of broth­ers ready to rally, even if it’s just a Tues­day night at the 90. This kind of broth­er­hood is what brings Phi Delta Theta together and helps us con­stantly improve our­selves socially. We pride our­selves on cre­at­ing a mem­o­rable time within the fra­ter­nity in which you not only get the com­plete social expe­ri­ence, but also come out a bet­ter man ready to rep­re­sent both Phi Delta Theta and USC.

Invites: These are one of the most pop­u­lar events of the semes­ter in which a brother asks his date to either a for­mal or themed dance. Typ­i­cally includ­ing some sort of din­ner before, buses are pro­vided bring­ing every cou­ple to the venue. Venues are typ­i­cally booked at pop­u­lar loca­tions all across Los Angeles.

Date Dashes: Sim­i­lar to invites except for the fact that broth­ers are only given a very short notice to find a date. These events are themed and the venues are gen­er­ally unknown until arrival.

Exchanges: These occur gen­er­ally twice a semes­ter and are when the broth­ers of Phi Delta Theta pair with a soror­ity for a night out to a pop­u­lar bar, night­club, or venue around the Los Ange­les Area. Exchanges are to a spe­cific theme such as caddy shack, neon, etc.

Tail­gates: Fall semes­ter means one thing and one thing only: Tro­jan Foot­ball. And what would foot­ball sea­son be with­out awe­some tail­gates held on the quad? We cel­e­brate every home game with a mas­sive tail­gate filled with friends, girls, and alumni in one of the cen­tral hubs of activ­ity on cam­pus. For away games we host in-house bar­be­cues and invite girls over to watch the game on our wall-size pro­jec­tor screen.

Mix­ers: Gen­er­ally we host a mixer (or “B&B”) with a soror­ity on a Tues­day or Thurs­day night. Mix­ers are an oppor­tu­nity to get to know girls in every house and build bet­ter rela­tion­ships for future events.

Vegas For­mal: What bet­ter way to cap off spring semes­ter with arguably the best social event of the entire year? Sim­ply put it’s a week­end long invite in Las Vegas. Buses leave Fri­day morn­ing tak­ing cou­ples straight to the hotel. This past year’s fes­tiv­i­ties saw us rent­ing out the Real World Suite the first night and The Palms Sky Villa the sec­ond night. No one misses this.

Week­ender: Every fall semes­ter the broth­ers of Phi Delta Theta head up to nor cal for a week­end to sup­port USC’s dom­i­nance over Stan­ford or Cal. Along with much of the USC stu­dent com­mu­nity we take over down­town San Francisco.

Con­certs & Music Fes­ti­vals: Phi Delta Theta has estab­lished a strong pres­ence at all the most awe­some con­certs and music fes­ti­vals in South­ern Cal­i­for­nia. Some of our best expe­ri­ences include rent­ing a tour bus to trans­port a group of Phis and girls to Beyond Won­der­land 2012 in San Bernardino, get­ting deluxe suites at The Venet­ian in Las Vegas for EDC 2012, and host­ing the guys at var­i­ous brother’s houses near Indio for Coachella.
