President's Message
Almost two centuries ago, the foundations of our Fraternity were created by the founding fathers. They created an association based upon the ideals of friendship, knowledge, service, morality, and excellence. This year, we celebrate not one but two significant anniversaries – the 175th anniversary of our founding and the 100th anniversary of the chartering of our first international chapter at the University of Toronto.
Our history teaches us how Phi Gamma Delta began with six men and one chapter in 1848. The Delta Association founded by these men has endured and flourished. In 2023, we celebrate 175 years since those humble beginnings; growing into an international fraternity of 140 chartered and provisional chapters with more than 9,500 undergraduate members and more than 207,000 lifetime initiates.
In 1923, the 75th Ekklesia met in Pittsburgh and granted a charter for a chapter at the University of Toronto. With Tau Kappa’s charter, Phi Gamma Delta became an international fraternity with our first chapter at a university outside what was then the contiguous 48 United States.
Our story is truly remarkable. Phi Gamma Delta has endured some of the most extraordinary events of the 19th and 20th centuries. Our roots began before the American Civil War. Phi Gams have survived the Global Flu Pandemic of 1918, World War I, the Great Depression, World War II,
and COVID-19. In 1848, there were only 30 American states, and Canada was but a single province comprised of Canada East and Canada West. The Confederation of Canadian Provinces we know today had not yet formed.
Ours is an enduring story of men like you and me who, despite incredible challenges over the last 175 years, remain firm in our faith in the principles of our Fraternity and persevere in fostering and growing our brotherhood throughout North America. Much has changed in the world since 1848, much must continue to change. Our future requires that Phi Gamma Delta men proactively respond to our greatest challenges. Our highest priority remains the safety and wellbeing of our members and working to eliminate hazing. Our future depends on our ability to take a strong stand against it, making hazing as well as other egregious behaviors anomalies of the past. Eliminating these will not be easy, yet change has begun.
Our response has been to develop a comprehensive New Model that teaches continuous, values-based recruitment and new programming that provides the framework for a fulfilling undergraduate experience. We are well underway in implementation and expect more than 60% of chapters to have eliminated pledging in favor of the New Model by the end of fall 2023, and before the requirement to do so in July 2024.
Few will note nor long remember these simple words written in this
magazine. What truly matters is the legacy we leave to those that follow. For 175 years, Phi Gam men have embodied the ideals of our Fraternity in their daily lives, faced the challenges of their day and we have flourished. For 100 of those years, our brothers in Canada have joined us in encouraging other like-minded men to be a part of the extraordinary brotherhood that is Phi Gamma Delta. Our longevity provides testament that our brotherhood so conceived and so dedicated to the principles of friendship, knowledge, service, morality and excellence can long endure. And that, wherever we find men of character, resilience, and perseverance who are willing to embrace the challenges we face and foster the genius of Phi Gamma Delta in their daily lives, our Fraternity will continue to transform the lives of its members, and each of us will aspire to dedicate our lives to the improvement of mankind.
I am, and always will be, very proud to be a Phi Gam!

THE PHI GAMMA DELTA 23 [On Campus]
New Model Implementation Is on Track
As published in the fall 2022 edition of The Phi Gamma Delta magazine, delegates to the 174th (2022) Ekklesia voted to eliminate pledging, effective July 1, 2024, and to immediately allow chapters to initiate new members without the probationary period known as pledging. When provided with the background related to decades-long challenges related to hazing, research which points to hazing concerns as a prominent reason men do not join fraternities, and recent and expected trends related to male college enrollment, they understood the need for a different approach to welcoming new members.
With the decisions of the 174th Ekklesia, the Fraternity began implementation of the New Model – which puts a greater emphasis on quality recruitment, reduces the power dynamic inherent in pledging and at the heart of fraternity hazing, and aims to provide a more fulfilling undergraduate experience.
The New Model, the framework of which has been in development for several years prior to the 174th Ekklesia, is a product of two
programs that complement each other in a holistic approach:
The Growth System is a continuous, modern, values‐based recruitment approach that allows a chapter to make a full and honest evaluation of a prospective member before extending him an invitation to join. It leverages technology, education to build recruitment skills, and advisor support to help chapters work toward a continuous recruitment model, not relying solely on the traditional “rush” period and developing values‐based criteria to identify prospects and ensure quality prior to initiation.
Phi Gamma Delta becomes the 7th men’s fraternity to implement a no-pledging model. Others include Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Kappa Lambda, Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau.
educating and providing developmental opportunities throughout the undergraduate experience, Phi Gamma Delta will see success in both the retention and recruitment of undergraduate members.
Early Adopters
Built to Lead is a multi‐level development experience that begins on day one of affiliation and extends throughout the undergraduate experience, focused on building and strengthening skills necessary for Courageous Leadership. Through a framework designed to match the variety of layers of the undergraduate experience, it seeks to enhance bonding and commitment from the start and provides continued learning throughout a man’s undergraduate years. By elongating the recruitment process and intentionally
Less than 10% of undergraduate men join fraternities. Of those who consider joining but do not, 35% cite a poor impression/hazing as a concern and 26% do not consider joining due to hazing concerns. Of men who considered but did not join, 9% cited they “didn’t know how to sign up,” indicating a gap in our current recruitment processes.
All chapters are required to implement a no‐pledging joining process by July 1, 2024. Those who do so before are implementing the New Model as Early Adopters – supported by Fraternity staff and a coach who assists them in developing their own unique implementation plan. Fifty-seven chapters have done so thus far – with 30 chapters joining in fall 2022 and 27 joining in spring 2023 (listed on page 25)
In its first year, more than 40% of chapters have implemented the New Model, and we expect more than 65% of chapters to implement by the end of fall 2023. These chapters represent a wide range of sizes and campus characteristics, helping the Fraternity adjust and shape implementation for all chapters in the future.
Results and feedback from 2022-23
Early Adopters have been generally
24 THE PHI GAMMA DELTA | SPRING 2023 www.phigam.org
New Model]
positive. It can, and does, take chapters time to plan and adjust their recruitment and member development techniques. However, once they do, chapters are seeing success. Preliminary data suggests two significant themes:
1. Early Adopters are initiating more men and retaining them at a greater rate than their historical four-year average and compared to non-Early Adopters.
2. New Model chapters are not always inviting more men to join, but they are initiating more and being more selective about who they invite to join.
example is that the offerings for recruitment education are being expanded and better tailored to a chapter’s needs. Programming requirements within Built to Lead are also being evaluated and modified. To help our chapters get the best start possible, we are working to have Chapter Coaches engage with chapters sooner and provide as much time as possible to plan before implementation. Learn more at www.phigam.org/ NewModel.
The Role of Graduates
Early Adopters initiated 27.4% more men than their four-year average in fall 2022 (compared to 21.1% of non-Early Adopters) and 8.2% more men than their four-year average in spring 2023 (comparative averages for non-Early Adopters is not yet available).
Early Adopters are seeing other anecdotal successes as well. Some chapters have reported that men who joined would not have done so under a traditional pledging model. Early Adopters also appear to be retaining men at a greater rate, though data over time will be used to measure this impact.
The New Model is well received by our host institutions. And with the help of our Chapter Coaches, no Early Adopter has been unable to implement the New Model due to campus and/or IFC recruitment and joining policies.
The Fraternity is adjusting based on the feedback provided by chapters and Chapter Coaches. One
One of the most significant predictors of a chapter’s New Model implementation success is the involvement and engagement of its graduate advisors. Chapters who have the support of brothers in three critical roles – recruitment, new initiate onboarding and member development – by and large adapt more quickly and see greater success in implementation. These brothers not only help to guide the chapter in its initial implementation but also provide tremendous overall support and become a point of continuity year-over-year.
The Fraternity needs the help of dedicated graduate brothers who exemplify our values, believe in mentorship and support the direction the New Model guides our Fraternity. As each chapter begins implementation, the Fraternity seeks to identify brothers who can serve in Board of Chapter Advisor roles as Recruitment, Foundation of

2023 Academy
The 2023 Academy was held January 6-8, 2023, bringing undergraduate and gradu ate leaders back to the historic St. Louis Union Station Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri. This annual leadership training prepared our brothers to “Lead with Courage” so they may make a positive impact on their campus and community.
By the Numbers
2023 had a strong showing, with 524 brothers and guests in attendance. This included:
◆ Undergraduates: 393 from 125 chapters and provisional chapters
◆ Chapters/Provisional Chapters with 3+ Delegates: 27 (with 15 brothers from Rose-Hulman)
◆ Graduates: 85 (including 31 Purple Legionnaires and 27 Section Leaders)
Pursuing Excellence
The 2023 Academy kicked off with the Pursuing Excellence
sessions, providing early arrivals with an opportunity to attend sessions about important topics facing our chapters across North America. Brothers attended these sessions on topics such as hazing prevention; sexual assault prevention; mental health; diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging; relearning the Ritual; and supporting brothers’ academics. Concurrent with these sessions, new Purple Legionnaires gathered to learn about their new role.
Opening Banquet
The event’s first large group opportunity was the Opening Banquet on Friday evening.
Longtime Academy emcee Towner Blackstock (Davidson 1994) returned to the stage and opened the evening recounting Academy history. The program included a panel on Authentic Leadership facilitated by Executive Director Rob Caudill (Akron 2004). Brothers on the panel shared lessons they have learned through various leadership experiences. Thank you to Section Leaders Chris Kurtz (Ball State 2006) and George Norman (RPI 1987) and Archon Councilors Robert Siedell (Mississippi State 1974), Jon Yates (Texas A&M 1991) and J.T.

for sharing their experiences with the Academy attendees!
Opening Session
The Academy featured several guest speakers and presenters, including James Robilotta, a well-known speaker on college campuses. During the Opening Session, on Saturday morning, James presented Authentic Leadership At Testing Points, which acknowledges that leadership can be challenging. During these challenging situations, leaders face lots of uncertainty and ambiguity. James has a background in improv and stand-up comedy, so he wove comedy and humor into his presentation, keeping attendees engaged throughout the thoughtful and relevant topics presented.
Foundation Luncheon
Saturday's luncheon, sponsored by the Phi Gamma Delta Educational Foundation, began
with Chairman Glenn Moor (Texas Tech 1984) presenting the Ed Gulewitz (Texas Christian 1989) Award for the Promotion of Organ Donation. This year, Alpha Omicron at Akron received the award for their efforts encouraging others to register as organ, eye and tissue donors.
Additionally, Educational Foundation Executive Director Ben Robinson (HampdenSydney 1986) provided a brief update on educational programming and scholarships funded by the Educational Foundation.
Pig Dinner
The Academy concluded with a model Frank Norris Pig Dinner. Brothers from our oldest chapter in attendance, Epsilon at the University of North Carolina, had the honor of
bringing in the pig. Former Ritualist and Archon President Bill Miller (Indiana 1962, Purdue GA 1996) and Tyler Orr (Rose-Hulman 2026) shared the honor of kissing the pig as the eldest brother and youngest brother in attendance, respectively. Section Leader Bill Roberts (Arizona State 1975) concluded the Norris-related activities with a rendition of "An Exile’s Toast."
The evening’s program included the President’s Perspective keynote by Archon President Bill Hunnicutt (Texas Arlington 1981). Bill provided an update on the Fraternity’s strategic objectives and the reasons fraternity is relevant to today’s college

Courageous Leader Award
Pig Dinner concluded with the presentation of this year’s Courageous Leader Award, presented by Archon Vice President Tim Kilduff (Kent State 1968). This year, two brothers received the award.
Ryan Groel (Embry-Riddle 2024) embraces the value of service in his daily life as a lifeguard and member of the campus Emergency Response Team. Beyond his everyday efforts, Ryan recently faced two significant testing points where he stayed true to his values.
Displaying friendship at the testing point, Ryan took charge following an incident at his chapter’s formal where one of his brothers drank too much and ultimately needed to be transported to the hospital. When others were ready to call it a night, he stayed at the hospital all night with his brother to ensure he received the medical attention needed.
Additionally, in late 2021, on a flight from Orlando to Las Vegas, Ryan’s EMT training and instincts kicked in when he saw a flight attendant rushing down the aisle with a medical bag in one hand and an automated external defibrillator in the other. He joined flight attendants to find a man unconscious and without a pulse in the aisle near the back of the plane. He started chest compressions with the help of a nurse onboard until the man started to respond – likely saving his life.
Ryan's nominator said, “In a situation of life or death, Ryan clung onto his values of morality and friendship to all and saved another's life without hesitation. Ryan is Epsilon Rho's hero.”
Chanpreet Singh (Alberta 2023) is a student leader on campus who always aims to create a positive impact. He believes in making a difference –whether as a member of the Student Council or as President of the International Students Association (ISA) at the University of Alberta (UA).
Staying firm in his beliefs, Chanpreet saw an opportunity to make a difference on campus when faced with Asian racism. As ISA President, he organized a campus-wide Asian Community Leaders Summit to create a safe space for Asian students and campus leaders to meet and discuss their challenges. The summit led to the creation of ISA's six-point advocacy plan. UA President Bill Flanagan mentioned ISA's plan in his report to the Board of Governors and he directed UA departments to work with ISA toward the six action items.
Chanpreet also recognized safety concerns with the campus Light Rail Transit following several acts of violence against students. After meeting with victims, he learned there was a lack of security presence on the platforms. Chanpreet used his role to advocate for an increased security presence. Despite significant pressure from students to stop his efforts, he stood his ground and joined a delegation formed by the Edmonton City Council to advocate for and ultimately pass a proposal to increase security and improve safety for UA students.
We look forward to returning to the Union Station Hotel in 2024 as Phi Gamma Delta continues to Build Courageous Leaders. t

36 THE PHI GAMMA DELTA | SPRING 2023 www.phigam.org Our 175th Anniversary A Look Back to 1848 & Two Notable Anniversaries
The Founders first met in John T. McCarty's upstairs corner room in the boarding house known as "Fort Armstrong." The building was torn down in 1916 despite the Fraternity's efforts to purchase it.
The Founding
By Towner Blackstock (Davidson 1994), Historian
Happy birthday to Phi Gamma Delta! We celebrated 175 years on Monday, May 1. Transport yourself back for a moment to what it was like to live in 1848. Our Founders' fathers and grandfathers could recall the War of 1812, and perhaps the American Revolution, which concluded 65 years earlier. The U.S. had only 29 states (Wisconsin became #30 in May) and just in February had acquired a huge territory at the conclusion of the war with Mexico. About that time gold was found in the part of that territory called California. News wouldn't reach the States until August, setting the stage for 1849's Gold Rush. One of the millions who headed west for fortune and fame was Founder John T. McCarty. But that's for next year. Remarkably, May 1, 1848, also fell on a Monday night, at "precisely 9 PM" according to the time set at the Founders’ preliminary meeting of Saturday, April 22. We recognize May 1 as Founders Day because it was then that the constitution was adopted and signed, and the Fraternity was truly born. You can read these minutes in my new book, Alpha: The Minutes of Phi Gamma Delta's First Chapter. They tell us a lot about what happened and when, but perhaps don't tell us why. Why found a fraternity, when five of you are about to graduate in seven weeks?
The Founders were students, aged between 19 and 24, at Jefferson College in Canonsburg, PA. Presbyterians established Jefferson in 1802. It was tiny to us, just 200 students, but in 1848 it was among the ten largest colleges in the nation. Like all colleges of the day, the curriculum was classical: Greek and Latin, translating ancient authors and the Bible, plus some mathematics, Christianity, philosophy, and practical science. There were no organized athletics. The real heart of student activity and recognition (besides commencement) were the two literary societies: Franklin and Philo. Everyone joined one or the other. They functioned as student government, debate societies, had their own libraries (each exceeding the college's in size), and brought speakers to campus. The biggest event of the year
next to commencement, the homecoming of the time, was the "Annual Contest" where champions from Franklin and Philo gave competing speeches, papers, and debate before judges. Each wanted his society to win.
And therein the stage is set. When the Founders met on April 22, it was after that night's Franklin Literary Society meeting. The Society was preparing to elect a new president, and a valedictorian to address the society before graduation. Now, our Founders were deeply involved in Franklin. They served in practically every committee or effort of note. They had ambitions for Franklin. They wanted the most capable students on that contest stage. You can imagine the turn of their conversations, determining to establish "a Society into which none but men of distinguished talents and acquirements, endued with a high sense of Honor and possessed of a laudable ambition... should be admitted...." Indeed! The best of the best.
A sub-plot to this: Jefferson didn't allow student organizations without the permission of the faculty on pain of expulsion. One fraternity existed there: Beta Theta Pi. Its members were secret, until they wore badges at commencement. This led to conspiracy theories and cloak-and-dagger antics. Wrote a Beta, "Every occurrence in college is blamed on a freak of the Betas." Some saw them as a manipulative cabal, unchristian and undemocratic, just as the "Know Nothings" characterized Freemasonry in the previous generation. The sentiment against secrecy was strong in the American mind of that time.
The day following the Founders’ first meeting was Sunday, the only day classes were not held at Jefferson College, and thus the chance for Sam Wilson and James Elliot to work on their constitution... in between attending the two church services required of every student.
Their idea was already being applied. Friday, April 28, Franklin Literary Society elected McCarty as its president and Elliot as Valedictorian. Three weeks later, in their election for next year's Contest debaters, declaimers, and essayists, the slate backed by our heroes carried the day. As McCarty wrote, "three cheers, result of union!"
The achievement of the Founders goes beyond just

[175th Anniversary] THE PHI GAMMA DELTA 37
Calvin Coolidge (Amherst 1895) did not ascend to the American presidency in the usual way. The Vice President was at his father's home in Plymouth Notch, Vermont, when a messenger awoke the household early on the morning of August 3, 1923, with news that President Harding had died. At 2:47 a.m. Coolidge's father, a justice of the peace, administered the oath of office.
Vice-President Coolidge was scheduled to attend the Ekklesia one month later, but President Coolidge had to cancel. He still made time for visiting brothers. For example, en route to Pittsburgh, Elmer Mason (California 1923) gave his card to a White House secretary with the note "Delegate from Delta Xi Chapter to the 75th Ekklesia." Within minutes he was ushered in to visit with the President. The following year, the Archons came to the White House to present the President with a new Founders’ badge, as readopted by the 1923 Ekklesia. "I am very glad to have this badge," he said. "My wife wears mine most of the time." Grace Coolidge was a charter member of Vermont's Pi Beta Phi chapter and as deeply interested in fraternity as was her husband. That same month, four brothers joined Coolidge at the White House to found Sires and Sons, the organization for fathers and sons who are both members of the Fraternity.
⮝ President Coolidge allowed the Xi Graduate Chapter to commission this portrait shown above for the new building of our New York Club. A copy was painted by Joseph E. Burgess (Syracuse 1914) and was put in our Washington headquarters in 1957. When the New York Club was closed in 1965, the original came to the headquarters and the copy was given to the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, where it hangs today, labeled as a gift of Phi Gamma Delta. The original remains at our headquarters.
political control of Franklin Literary Society. It is hard to overstate its magnitude. In seven weeks, six men built a fraternity from scratch: Identified values, created a name, wrote a constitution, designed and produced a badge, recruited twelve other men (double their number!), and even established a second chapter, at Washington College, about ten miles away. What more could anyone have asked for?
This is not to say the Founders built perfectly. Sam Wilson himself admitted they had no experience in writing a constitution, having only the Franklin Literary Society constitution as a model. And that wasn't designed for a national, multi-chapter organization.
Thus in 1852, the Fraternity faced two crises: In the spring, the chapter at the University of North Carolina withdrew in a dispute over the constitution, probably over the fact that the Grand Chapter (Alpha at Jefferson) held all power. That fall, the Grand Chapter itself was near death, with just three members. Imagine how low and lonely those three felt. What kept them afloat? What saved the chapter? The graduate brothers. They provided the leadership to redesign the constitution over the course of several years. They provided support to help rebuild the chapter's membership. They provided guidance that kept the chapter hewn to the values, and not compromising for the sake of survival. In two years membership had recovered to twenty, large for that decade.
Therein are lessons for the ages. In correspondence and recollections, brothers from the early decades of Alpha Chapter agree: “We sought the best men we could get. Evidence of future prospect was our aim.” And was it then any surprise that men of ambition, capability, and talent returned to support and build the Fraternity?
Consider then the constitution by the Founders on May 1, 1848. In its preamble, they wrote of friendship among men "of like inclinations, pursuits, habits, and education." They wrote how aspiration led to the development and maturation of man's "noblest faculties," and led to "high station" in life. "Association brings into action all the finer feelings of the heart: Love, friendship, benevolence, and likewise calls forth the noble aspirations of the soul, and urges man onward to improvement, to fame, and to glory." What words!
And here is the crux of it: "We believe that a select and chosen union of honor, talent, and energy... is the surest
[175th Anniversary] 38 THE PHI GAMMA DELTA | SPRING 2023 www.phigam.org
means of calling forth all the powers of the mind, directing their application to the most useful and worthy objects, of accomplishing great and important results, of elevating the condition of man, and of forming the most enduring, lasting, and binding attachments." To this purpose we remain true today.
Brothers, together, we fulfil our Founders’ vision to build a stronger fraternity, university, and society. That is how we get to the next 175 years. And so a toast: Philotes, Glukutate, Dunasteia: Friendship the Sweetest Influence, not for college days alone!
100 Years Ago
75th Anniversary
1923 was a landmark year for Phi Gamma Delta, and the 75th Ekklesia in Pittsburgh, called "that soul-satisfying event" by one brother, was its epicenter. More brothers registered than any previous convention, perhaps buoyed by the promise of Calvin Coolidge's attendance (see sidebar). They gathered at Hotel Schenley, site of the 1898 Ekklesia. Besides the usual receptions, ball, banquet, luncheons, and a baseball game (Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds), the brothers made a pilgrimage to Canonsburg and then Washington, Pennsylvania, where the model initiation was held along with a buffet dinner.
The Ekklesia's standout accomplishments still reverberate: Expansion to Canada with the approval of Toronto's petition for a charter, and the re-adoption of the Founders' badge, which we still wear as the single official badge of Phi Gamma Delta membership. The installation at Toronto occurred that December. With it, Phi Gamma Delta reached 66 chapters and some 22,000 initiates.
50 Years Ago
125th Anniversary
The most significant event in Phi Gamma Delta in 1973 was the relocation of the International Headquarters from Washington, DC, to Lexington in June. The Fraternity’s central office had been in Washington for over 50 years, and since 1956 the Fraternity and the Educational Foundation had been headquartered in a five-story townhouse owned by the Foundation at 1757 N Street NW.
For some time prior to the move, the Fraternity’s leaders had been concerned with rising costs and declining safety in Washington. Additionally, the building was not designed for efficient office operation and was becoming costly to maintain. Further, the idea of a location more accessible to the majority of chapters appealed to rank-and-file members.
[175th Anniversary] 4 THE PHI GAMMA DELTA 39
In August 1898, 159 brothers gathered at the Hotel Schenley in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for an historic convention. The 50th General Convention enacted sweeping legislative changes, creating the Ekklesia form of government and the Archonate.
The process leading to the move was in three phases: first, the 1970 Ekklesia authorized the Archons to appoint a committee to examine the feasibility of moving the headquarters; second, that committee studied the matter and recommended that the headquarters be moved from Washington, and finally, a second committee, after studying potential sites within the central U.S., recommended Lexington. The city was within one day’s drive of over half of the undergraduate chapters and approximately 68% of the U.S. population, sat at the intersection of interstate highways 64 and 75, and was served by three major airlines. Lexington’s population at the time was approximately 180,000.
In June 1973, the headquarters was moved to leased space (3,600 square feet) on the third floor of an office building at 343 Waller Avenue, centrally located within the city and a short distance from the University of Kentucky. The move and the transition to the new location had their challenges. Most significant, none of the administrative (non-brother) staff in Washington chose to move to Lexington, requiring the hiring and training of nine new employees.
Under the leadership of Executive Secretary Bill Zerman (Michigan 1949), the entire staff adapted quickly to prepare for the 13th Fiji Academy on August 12-15 at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, 25 miles from Lexington. For the 450 attendees from 104 chapters and colonies, the highlight of the Academy was the keynote speaker
at the Model Pig Dinner, astronaut and U.S. Navy Captain Eugene Cernan (Purdue 1956), who told the assembled brothers of his experience walking on the Moon the previous December as commander of the Apollo 17 space flight. Apollo 17 is still the last manned flight to the Moon.
Turmoil, then Optimism
On May 4, 1973, brothers gathered in Pittsburgh, approximately 20 miles from Canonsburg, to celebrate the 125th anniversary. Speaking to the assembled brothers, Archon President David Bland (Texas 1938) said, “We have just come through a period of about five or six years during which there has been upheaval around the world among our youth, and
[175th Anniversary] 40 THE PHI GAMMA DELTA | SPRING 2023 www.phigam.org
The highlight of the 1973 Fiji Academy was the attendance of astronaut Gene Cernan, commander of the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972. To date, Gene Cernan is the last person to have walked on the moon.
In 1973, the Fraternity moved its headquarters from Washington, DC, to Lexington. The first Lexington location was a leased space on the third floor of this building at 343 Waller Avenue (left). In 1985, IHQ moved to its current location at 1201 Red Mile Road.
from campus to campus a great deal of turmoil. Thank God those days are apparently in the past. They took a toll of some of our chapters, but we have learned from those chaotic times, and we find today that Phi Gamma Delta is in a stronger position than it has ever been.”
Brother Bland was referring to the period of campus unrest during the Vietnam War in the late 1960s and early 1970s, during which the Fraternity lost five chapters on the West Coast and three in the Ivy League. This was attrition not seen since the Civil War, but Brother Bland’s optimism was wellfounded. In the previous two years, the Fraternity had installed six chapters, exceeding 100 chapters for the first time, and would install six more chapters in the next two years. Further, in the 1973-74 academic year, initiations of new members would increase 12% over the previous year.
Today
A New Model for Building Courageous Leaders
On May 1, 2022, as Phi Gamma Delta began its 175th year, the undergraduate chapters were closing an academic year that saw a return to normal after the major disruption of fraternal and campus life that began in March 2020 due to the Covid pandemic. Since fall 2019, undergraduate membership in the Fraternity had declined approximately 14%. This was partially due to the impact of the pandemic on fraternity life, especially recruitment and retention of members. That impact had largely, if not completely, subsided, and undergraduates could expect normal campus conditions in fall 2022.
A second significant factor in the decline of undergraduate membership between 2019 and 2022 was the loss of 11 chapters, most due to hazing. This development presented a testing point and an opportunity to the undergraduate delegates who gathered in August in Washington, DC, for the 174th Ekklesia. The testing point came with the realization that efforts to eliminate hazing – focused on education and accountability and stretching back over 60 years – had not been effective enough and, further, that the power dynamic between brothers and pledges inherent in the pledging model hinders
the development of friendships and makes it more difficult to prevent hazing.
The opportunity was a proposal from the Archons to eliminate pledging and adopt a New Model for recruiting and assimilating members and building courageous leaders. The New Model included the Growth System, a new approach to recruitment allowing a chapter to make a full evaluation of a prospect before inviting him to join, and Built to Lead, a multi-year member development framework giving brothers the tools for courageous leadership and engaging them throughout their undergraduate experience.
After extended, respectful debate, the delegates voted to adopt the Archons’ proposal, eliminating pledging effective July 1, 2024, and allowing chapters wishing to adopt the New Model before the effective date to do so. As of spring 2023, over 40% of chapters have chosen to be Early Adopters, and by fall 2023, twothirds are expected to do so.
As brothers celebrate 175 years, the Fraternity is represented on 141 campuses (134 chapters and seven provisional chapters) with an undergraduate membership of 9,900 and an average chapter size of 73. With this sturdy base and a New Model, Phi Gamma Delta is well prepared for the journey toward 2048. t

Phi Gamma Delta Educational Foundation
This year, Phi Gamma Delta celebrates its 175th anniversary. Big anniversaries are an appropriate occasion to look back on and assess an organization’s work and to also consider how it approaches the future. Throughout this listing of donors are micro reports that will share our work and how we are preparing our brothers for the future. The financial numbers come from our auditor, ending date of June 30, 2022. Donor lists and income represent the 2022 calendar year.
The Foundation once again had a great year thanks to you, our donors. Income from donations was above our threeyear average. Your support allowed us to increase our funding for our educational programs and scholarships.
These pages honor our graduate brothers whose generous donations continue to help our undergraduate brothers to immerse themselves in the values of our Fraternity. More work lies ahead of us, and our costs will continue to increase as the Fraternity improves its programming. Our future looks bright, and we owe a huge thanks to you for making it happen!
Happy Anniversary, Glenn D. Moor (Texas Tech 1984) Chairman (left)

The Phi Gamma Delta Foundation of Canada Brothers,
Your impact upon the Foundation allows us to interact with members in a supportive and positive way. Your generosity allowed us to continue our focus on academics through scholarships, leadership training, mental health education and alcohol abuse prevention.
The estate of William H. Gear (McGill 1956) once again generously benefited the Foundation, providing over $54,000 in scholarships. We are grateful to the brothers who have planned to benefit Phi Gamma Delta in this way. We also want to thank the hundreds of brothers over the last few years who donated to the Foundation. Keep it up; your brothers benefit greatly from your support!
Thanks to our donors for supporting us in 2022 and helping us to do our important work to support Phi Gamma Delta.
Fraternally,
Tristan Patterson (Alberta 2010) President

Persistence Scholarship Ryan L. Sesler 2023
With 455 scholarships awarded, totaling $429,225, we remain a leader among fraternities in scholastic awards. We introduced The Persistence Scholarship, which recognizes the importance we have placed on a determination to “press on”, to accomplish important goals while overcoming obstacles. It provides financial assistance to brothers who strive for excellence in academics, fraternity and campus leadership, and service to the chapter and the community while dealing with the financial challenges of attending college. We believe these brothers are powerful catalysts for creating and sustaining successful chapters. Seventy undergraduate brothers were selected and were awarded $2,500 to assist with tuition costs. You will see selected recipients highlighted in this report. We also introduced the Courageous Leader Scholarship (CLS) award for chapters to share the Fraternity’s values and award scholarships to the non-Greek affiliated students who best exemplify our values.

Healthy Environment & Courageous Leadership
There’s an old saying that is still true today, that healthy brothers in a healthy chapter will produce a great experience. Our chapters and brothers are at times in need of mental health and substance abuse help. Last year, we provided $164,618 for mental health, substance and alcohol abuse education to identify and prevent problems, teach intervention and show brothers how to get the support they need. The Fraternity encourages brothers to talk about their health and ask for help rather than neglect it or fear any stigmas they perceive to be associated with asking for help.
We have always contended the chapter environment is a powerful catalyst for developing future leaders. To that end, we granted $206,571 for leadership programs, including the values-based Leadership Institute, which is part of the Building Courageous Leaders initiative. The Leadership Institute is scheduled to take place this summer in Lexington, Kentucky.

We are committed to supporting the Fraternity as it implements the New Model – a modernized joining process which reduces the power dynamic inherent in hazing behaviors and activities – and continued educational efforts to combat hazing. This is important work. Support through grants for research to identify proven approaches to reduce and eliminate hazing has begun. This data will assist the Fraternity in crafting educational programs that will not only improve the well-being of our undergraduate brothers, but it ensures the Fraternity continues to have a positive impact on the campuses and in the communities where chapters operate.

[2022 Donors]
Endowment
We continue to use an investment policy that seeks the growth of our endowment without taking unreasonable risk. We use endowment income/appreciation as directed by the donor to fund scholarships, leadership programs, alcohol education and general operations of the Foundation. The Foundation’s principal investments were $12,348,827 at the end of February 2023. Current income from these investments combined with annual fund donations is sufficient to meet current program and operating expenses. Additional assets of $10,673,405 are restricted for chapter scholarships and qualifying chapter building projects. The endowment funds are managed and invested by a professional manager under the oversight of the Foundation’s investment committee, which consists of board members and volunteer brothers experienced in financial management.

and over 50 IPOs and served as a director of over 40 public companies. John’s business success fueled a parallel pursuit for him and his wife, Mary, as philanthropists. Their contributions to the University of Iowa included naming gifts for the Pappajohn Business School, the John and Mary Pappajohn Clinical Cancer Center, and the Pappajohn Biomedical Institute. They also established entrepreneurial centers at five institutions in Iowa. John’s generosity extended to Phi Gamma Delta. Through the Educational Foundation, he funded the first year of the Leadership Institute in 2016, established the Pappajohn Scholarship to benefit students based on need and minority or ethnic status, and contributed to scholarships for the Mu Deuteron Chapter at Iowa. His many honors included the Horatio Alger Award, induction into the Iowa Hall of Fame, and four honorary degrees. He was named a Distinguished Fiji in 1967.

Fraternally Speaking
There is an old saying that nothing worth having comes easy. There are many derivations, but the gist of the saying is that almost everything in life requires effort, and those that work for it will be rewarded.
Admittedly I am generalizing, but that saying seems contradictory to societal expectations today. Too often we look for the easy fix instead of the right solution. We spend more time looking for an easier path than putting in the needed thought and effort to tackle our toughest problems. We rely on old ways, despite repeatedly being unhappy with the result, instead of charting a new – often difficult – course.
On May 1, Phi Gamma Delta celebrated its 175th anniversary, and with it the many adaptations over time have kept us strong and maintained our relevance in the lives of our members. None of those were easy, and often took significant time. From overhauling of our governance structure in the 1890s, to removing restrictive membership clauses from our laws in the 1960s, to adapting our joining process today, our Fraternity continues to prove its durability and timeless nature of its principles.
Implementation of the New Model is not easy, but it is right for our future. It recognizes the need to focus on a recruitment model that finds the men our chapters want and need, and who otherwise may not have availed themselves of the campus recruitment process. It also focuses on the continuous education and development of our undergraduate members to keep them involved and engaged throughout their academic careers. As our Early Adopters
are finding, it takes work, it takes an open mind, and it takes support.
Rob Caudill Executive Director
After learning of the New Model, a wise fraternal friend shared with me a graphic labeled ‘The Path to Innovation’, which describes the ups and downs of major change. It recognizes the ups and downs over time, and the ‘Dark night of the innovator’ – periods of significant challenge that are bound to raise questions as to whether the change is worth it. However, with time and effort, lasting results are seen.
I understand how some may believe that the New Model – initiation without pledging - is the easy way. Some may argue that eliminating pledging eliminates the need to work for membership, and thus it is no longer worthwhile. The reality under the New Model is that membership is more difficult to achieve, that chapters work much harder to evaluate a man during recruitment and set expectations that a man earn his membership every day, not just during pledgeship.
I am extremely proud of our fifty-seven chapters who have begun implementation, and the many more who will throughout the coming year. It's not easy, but they are choosing a path which will improve their chapters and the Fraternity for decades to come.
On the topic, Theodore Roosevelt is quoted as saying, “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well." t
