2022 NATIONAL CONCLAVE HIGHLIGHTS

After a 4-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Phi Mu Deltas from across the country were able to gather once more in person for fellowship and to conduct the business of the Fraternity. Over 120 undergraduates and alumni gathered in Pittsburgh, PA for four days discussing issues relevant to Phi Mu Delta's future growth and success. For many of the undergraduate delegates, this was their first opportunity to network with alumni and officers from other chapters. Saturday saw spirited debates as the Conclave tackled proposed changes to the By-laws and Fraternity policies.
