Incoming Freshmen...
Our chapter would first like to congratulate you on your graduation from high school and your decision to further your education. The purpose of this page is to make you aware of the many advantages that the Greek system at Iowa State has to offer you. Within the next six months you will make many important decisions that will ultimately affect the rest of your life. There is much more to college than just classes, and it is up to you to take advantage of all the opportunities awaiting you.
One of the choices rapidly approaching is deciding where to live. I hope that you give this serious consideration. Many current and graduate students of Iowa State have found their fraternity membership to be the most important experience outside of the classroom. When you graduate four years from now, you will leave here with more than just a diploma in your hand. While living in a fraternity, you will learn to balance your schedule, improve your social skills, and gain a sense of maturity and responsibility. But the most important thing about living in a fraternity is that you will immediately have a large number of people you can depend on, trust, and alongside them form friendships that last a lifetime.
Our chapter has three main ideals, which we strive to meet at all times: scholarship, hospitality, and unity.

Scholarship


    We feel that our freshmen academic program is the best in the Greek community. It is designed to complete your education at Iowa State, while incorporating a better way of approaching the academic scene so time is managed effectively towards studies. Furthermore, freshmen who pledge our house have a greater opportunity to be successful in their chosen field due to the large amount of resources we provide. Undergraduate brothers can help you with your classes, we provide free tutors, and graduates offer job networking. As extra incentives, our International Fraternity will give a $250 cash scholarship to all new members achieving a 3.0GPA or higher during their pledge semester. Our Iowa State chapter then matches that $250 for a total of $500! We are the only known fraternity on campus that gives that size of scholarship to every new member just for getting a 3.0! In addition, our house also offers multiple scholarships ranging from $100 to $1500 for a variety of scholastic achievements.

Hospitality


    Phi Gamma Delta also stresses hospitality. This includes showing hospitality to members of our own community and to anyone who visits our house. Each semester our chapter volunteers for a number of community service projects. Last semester our members had a combined total of over 500 hours of community service! These projects range from raking leaves at a local nursing home to spending time with children at the Boys and Girls Club and participating in our annual Pole-Sit Philanthropy for the Lukemia and Lymphoma Society. But to us, hospitality is more than just a community service project here and there; it is a way of life. So anytime you hold a door for another student, or introduce yourself to a stranger on campus, you are showing hospitality without even thinking about it.

Unity


    Unity is perhaps the longest lasting value that we uphold. As a Phi Gam, you will make trusted and lifelong friends. You will become especially close to your pledge brothers, and there is no way to describe the camaraderie that develops until you experience it first hand. Phi Gamma Delta also discourages cliques, meaning that we constantly strive to promote close friendships among all members of the fraternity.
    So while living in the dormitories or an apartment is not a bad decision, very few college experiences can compare with living in a fraternity. From starting out by meeting fifty guys, to seeing many of them at your wedding and alumni dinners years down the road, life as a Fiji will almost certainly complete your college experience and help develop you into the man you've always wanted to become.
If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail or give us a call.
                Thanks,
                        Scott Johnson, Ryan Peterson, Joey Finelli                         2005 Recruitment Chairmen
