Phi Delta Theta Foundation

Knights of Pallas

A giving society for undergraduate brothers and young alumni.

About

Knights of Pallas is an undergraduate and young alumni giving program of the Phi Delta Theta Foundation. It is designed to help brothers start a habit of giving back early, while they are still students and in their first year after graduation.

Every year, Phi Delta Theta brothers benefit from scholarships, leadership programs, and educational opportunities made possible by alumni who came before them. Thanks to that generosity, the Phi Delta Theta Foundation gives back more than $1.5 million annually to students. Knights of Pallas is where that tradition begins for the next generation.

With a simple $20 annual gift, members begin a pattern of annual support and help ensure the Fraternity is transmitted greater than it was transmitted to them.
