Phi Delta Theta

Phi Delta Theta Greek letters

Phi Delta Theta was founded on December 26, 1848 by six extraordinary men. The chapter is based upon the cultivation of friendship among its members, the acquirement individually of a high degree of mental culture, and the attainment personally of a high standard of morality. At Phi Delta Theta all of the brothers of the bond act as one.

Message from the Chapter President

phi delta theta president dominic dowd Our chapter of Phi Delta Theta is founded on the principles of Moral Rectitude, Sound Learning, and Friendship. The bonds I’ve formed here have shaped me, challenged me, and pushed me to grow alongside men who lead with character. Our chapter’s dedication and unity continue to inspire me, and I am committed to strengthening that foundation for future brothers. It is an honor to serve as Chapter President and to lead a brotherhood defined by integrity and purpose.

President: Dominic Dowd
