Our Chapter
At Phi Delta Theta, we live by the motto "one man is no man". We're always striving for success, and we understand that we are parts of a greater whole. As members, we do what we can to make our chapter, our community, and our fellow brothers better. We are one of the largest and most diverse fraternities at CMU, and we are very proud of this!

Making a Difference in Our Community
As a fraternity, we find community service and volunteerism extremely important. We're always trying to find ways that we can positively impact CMU and the city of Pittsburgh. For this reason, we elect Philanthropy and Community Service chairs who are in charge of discovering, organizing, and recruiting for events. Here are some of the ways we try to serve our school and community:
- Philanthropy events such as Pie a Phi, Dye a Phi, and selling Fried Oreos on campus
- Community service events such as Phi Supply, a clothing drive that we organize
- Fundrasing efforts for LiveLikeLou and POISE Foundation
- Participation in Greek Sing, which helps fundraise for local causes
- Participation in events like 1000Plus, Rise Against Hunger, Fresh Check Day, and Camp Kesem
- Each Phikeia class is required to host a service event and fundraise $1000 as part of the Phikeia Process
Our Alumni Network
Because we are still a very young fraternity, we have a very close relationship with our alumni. Our alumni are always ready to help any current member, and most are only one text away. As a result of the size and diversity of our fraternity, we have alumni all around the country, each charting his own course in the world.
In the near future, we will be gathering alumni interviews to give a better glimpse into our alumni network and where our alumni are today.
The Meal Plan
Ask any brother about the Phi Delt meal plan, and they will have nothing but good things to say about it.
