Phi Delta Theta To Host 23 Province Retreats During First Two Months of 2020

10.16.2019

With the help of the Fraternity’s regional volunteers (province presidents), Phi Delta Theta International Fraternity will host 23 province retreats throughout North America in the early months of 2020.

Last year’s inaugural province retreats attracted 1,525 participants and laid a solid foundation for continued growth in the Fraternity’s ability to deliver regional education.

The Outcomes of the Province Retreats Include:

  • Create supportive relationships among chapters and alumni to build stronger chapters and advisory boards.
  • Facilitate growth in attendees’ abilities to execute successful Phi Delt operations while building a culture filled with positive brotherhood

The outcomes will be achieved through peer-to-peer sessions focused on:

  • Successful recruitment
  • Chapter planning and issue troubleshooting
  • Building positive brotherhood through bystander education
  • Lessons learned from alumni

The province retreats will be one-day sessions held in late January and February, a time when the majority of the Fraternity’s chapters have new officers. The specific date and location of each retreat will be released in mid-November. A map and list of the Province Retreat regions is below. Undergraduates and alumni volunteers will be responsible for getting themselves to their retreat and paying for any necessary overnight accommodations.

The following people will be encouraged to attend their local retreat:

  • Chapter Executive Boards
  • Recruitment Chairmen
  • Other chapter officers and emerging leaders who want to attend
  • Chapter Advisory Board members
  • Province Presidents
  • One GHQ staff member

Educational sessions at each province retreat will be conducted by:

  • Province Presidents
  • CAB members from the region
  • Campus professionals at the host institution
  • Successful area alumni
  • GHQ staff members
  • General Council members
