Excitement is
in the air in Tuscaloosa! The newly renovated Theta Chapter
House and the expansion of the Alumni Hall have brought much
enthusiasm to the members of Phi Gamma Delta. Thanks to the
hard work of all the house corporation members and graduate brother Mark
Lancaster '95 from WAR Construction, the Theta Chapter
House shines brighter than ever. On the weekend of the
Tennessee football game here in Tuscaloosa, the house was put on
full display for the grand opening of the addition and
renovation. The last several months have been consumed with
the task of returning to normalcy.
ACADEMICS
Academic excellence has long been an
area of focus in our Chapter and in recent years we have thrived in
that area. Since the fall of 2004, our G.P.A. ranking among
other fraternities has not dropped below the top 10. For the
Fall 2007 semester, we achieved a G.P.A. of 3.02 and were ranked
fourth on campus.
RECRUITMENT
Recruitment is the backbone that
holds our Chapter together. This 2007 initiated class is
another example of the kind of men we are seeking, Many of our
39 initiates are legacies while others come from many places around
the country. |
PHILANTHROPY
The members of Phi Gam have been
actively involved in community service throughout the year.
Several charity events include Hurricane Creek, a river cleanup and
restoration event, the Beat Auburn Beat Hunger food drive, a charity
dodge ball tournament, a Christmas toy drive, charity golf
tournament, and a blood drive.
CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT
Theta members are dedicated to
service both inside and outside the Fraternity house. Several
brothers are involved in the Inter-Fraternity Council and the
Student Government Association and sub-committees. Honor
societies are also prevalent on Alabama's campus, and our members
enjoy being involved in these, as well.
We are as strong as ever in terms of
numbers and involvement. We want to thank all of our alumni
once again for the hard work on preparing the newly renovated house,
keeping recruitment at an all-time best, and, most of all, for the
support year in and year out. We encourage you to stop by the
Phi Gam house any time to check out what's new. We look
forward to working with everyone to pursue excellence at The
University of Alabama.
