Phi Delta Theta

At the heart of everything Phi Delta Theta has accomplished over the past 175 years is a promise to each and every member of our organization—Become the Greatest Version of Yourself. Today, we're forging our greatest version yet. ⚔️ Learn more at the new phideltatheta.org.

Today we honor the memory of Brother Neil Alexander on the 11th anniversary of his passing. Diagnosed with ALS at 46, he set out to leave the disease better than he found it. With his wife Suzanne and children Abby and Patrick, he built @LiveLikeLou4. In coelo quies est. ⚔️

With the support of family, friends, and Phi Delta Theta brothers, Kristian la Cour Madsen, Montana ’91, raised an incredible $16,284 for his Iron Phi challenge, earning a place in the Iron Phi Hall of Fame! 🔗: phide.lt/47gHg7T

Written for the Spring 2026 issue of The Scroll, Sean Wagner, Executive Vice President and CEO, reminds us that being a Phi Delt means living our values—Friendship, Sound Learning, and Rectitude—in every setting. Read his letter: phide.lt/4rZDQi8

A single thank-you letter turned into a life-changing mentorship. ⚔️ Scholarships from the Phi Delta Theta Foundation do more than provide financial support—they connect you to a network of brothers ready to invest in your future. 🔗: phide.lt/47ej7ij

A milestone a decade in the making! ⚔️ This fall, 3,121 men began their journey in Phi Delta Theta chapters across North America—the largest fall Phikeia class in the past ten years. 🔗: phide.lt/4ukmNZH

The Scroll hits mailboxes this week. We're excited to share our issue featuring Willie Geist, Vanderbilt ’97. Known for telling the stories of others on Sunday TODAY, @WillieGeist took time reflecting on leadership, career, and fraternity. 📸: Photos courtesy of NBC/TODAY.

As the first four games of March Madness get underway, we’re excited for another season of basketball and proud of the many Phi Delts who have made their mark in the game and throughout the industry. 🏀 🔗: museum.phideltatheta.org/famous-phis/

Feeling lucky with a brotherhood as great as ours 🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day!

On Phi Delta Theta’s Founders Day, brothers gathered at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site to take part in the growing tradition of raising the Phi Delta Theta flag in Indianapolis—honoring our founding, our brotherhood, and Benjamin Harrison. ⚔️

Today we honor the lives and legacies of the Immortal Six and the brotherhood they formed. Happy Founders Day ⚔️ #proudtobeaphi

And the Oscar goes to . . . 🏆 Phi Delt is full of stars nominated for their work, to name a few: Burt Reynolds, Florida State '57 Robert Wise, Franklin College '33 Van Heflin, Oklahoma '32 Don Simpson, Oregon '67 Clint Wallace, Puget Sound '90 Francis D. Lyon, UCLA '28

Earlier this week, Cincinnati Phis gathered to celebrate Founders Day at a local restaurant—proof that Founders Day isn’t about the location, it’s about the people you share it with. Brotherhood shows up wherever brothers do. Find a space and reconnect this Founders Day! ⚔️

Brother Jim Satrom has stayed involved with North Dakota Alpha alumni since graduating and served as the building chairman when the new chapter house was built in 1978. He continues to volunteer for the house corporation.#VolunteerProfile 🔗: phide.lt/3N8MrQv

Why does Phi Delta Theta celebrate Founders Day on March 15? We believe March was chosen because December 26 was too close to the holidays for a convenient annual celebration. Robert Morrison is the original Bond No. 1. Therefore, his birthday, March 15, was chosen.
