-
Housing: Phi Gamma Delta feels a chapter house provides an added benefit to the fraternity experience, and we are pleased that nearly 90% of our chapters live in some form of Greek housing. All new Fiji houses are alcohol-free facilities; this promotes academic excellence in a clean environment.
-
Publications: The semi-annual magazine entitled “The Phi Gamma Delta” is sent to brothers to update them on the activities of the Fraternity on an International scale.

International Brotherhood: No matter where you go, Phi Gamma Delta has chapters across the U.S. and Canada. You will enjoy the advantages of brotherhood throughout your lifetime. Phi Gamma Delta is truly “Not For College Days Alone.”
Pledge Education
-
There is no hazing allowed in Phi Gamma Delta at any time, for pledges or brothers.
-
The education program consists of an 8-week process of learning Fraternity history, chapter operation and personal development. Meetings are held weekly and are taught by graduate brothers in the local area.
-
Pledges learn from the “Purple Pilgrim,” our source for the Fraternity's history, characteristics and values.
-
A retreat is held on a weekend within the first month of pledging to chart the course for the future.
-
Pledges are required to achieve a 2.5 cumulative GPA in order to be initiated, although 3.0 or greater is preferred to pledge. We intend to have the highest academic rank among all campus organizations.

Additional Information about Phi Gamma Delta
-
Values & Ethics: We were founded 159 years ago as an organization composed of men who are committed to the values of Friendship, Knowledge, Service, Morality, and Excellence. Today, those values are just as important, if not more so. Everything about our organization is rooted in these principles.
-
Graduate Involvement: There are numerous graduates who volunteer to assist a Delta Colony. A specific group of them, known as the Board of Colony Advisors, will meet with the undergraduates on a regular basis to offer assistance and guide the Colony in the right direction.
-
Parental Involvement: We encourage the involvement of parents. The concept of family is extremely important to our Fraternity, especially since Phi Gamma Delta is a man’s “home away from home” during his collegiate years.
-
Risk Management: Phi Gamma Delta is adamant about following the law when it comes to the consumption and/or distribution of alcoholic beverages. 21 is the law! Alcohol was not a founding principle of the Fraternity and will not be a major aspect of Phi Gamma Delta.
-
Zero Tolerance: Phi Gamma Delta does not permit illegal drug use in any way, shape, or form. Drugs and Fiji don’t mix; any man who is discovered to have involvement with drugs will be immediately expelled.
-
International Headquarters Support: All Colonies receive special attention from the International Headquarters staff in Lexington, Kentucky. Brothers from Headquarters will visit the Colonies regularly and communicate weekly with Colony leadership.
