Our mission is to build courageous leaders who are hardworking, passionate, and personable. We accomplish this through leadership development, community service, and scholarship support.

Our Greek Letters
Members of Phi Gamma Delta hold our Greek letters in reverence. Therefore, we limit their display to a select number of places, such as the front of the chapter house, the Fraternity flag, class rings and the member badge. When our Fraternity is named in campus or interfraternity publications, we prefer the full spelling of Phi Gamma Delta rather than use of our Greek letters or nicknames: Phi Gam or Fiji.
