Why did you decide to work for Phi Delta Theta?

“I decided to work for Phi Delta Theta because of how it helped me grow during my time as an undergrad. Looking back, my Phi Delt experience was one of the biggest factors in my becoming who I am today. Since then, I’ve met so many incredible people from across the Phi Delt world that reaffirm my decision to work at General Headquarters every day.”
