Phi Delta Theta is excited to introduce a new recruitment challenge this fall for its chapters and emerging chapters. Coming off of a challenging year that saw many recruitment barriers in place, Phi Delta Theta knows that it is vital for its chapters and emerging chapters to have a growth mindset throughout the 2021-22 academic year.
Using chapter Phikeia class and campus data from the past three fall terms, and taking campus recruitment structures into consideration, Phi Delta Theta has created fall Phikeia class “recruitment challenge numbers” for each chapter and emerging chapter. Chapters and emerging chapters that meet or exceed their fall Phikiea class recruitment challenge number from July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 will be entered to receive one of many available incentives.* Phikeias must be reported in myPhiDelt by December 31, 2021 to count towards this challenge.
* On January 1, Phi Delta Theta will enter all eligible chapters or emerging chapters into a drawing, and one group will be selected for each of the available incentives.
Chapters and emerging chapters on campuses with deferred recruitment are included in this challenge and have a number below. On deferred recruitment campuses, Phi Delta Theta encourages the recruitment of a fall class that includes sophomores through seniors.
The collection of incentives include:
- A $500 donation to a philanthropy event
- A $1,000 credit toward future Phikeia dues
- A $2,500 credit toward the chapter’s 2022 membership dues
- Spring 2022 recruitment t-shirts for entire chapter via the Phi Delt Store
- LiveLikeLou ONWARD long sleeve t-shirts for entire chapter
- An extra delegate to the 2022 Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute in Oxford, Ohio – Five available
