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.

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 reached through peer-to-peer educational sessions focused on:

  • Successful recruitment
  • Chapter planning and improvement
  • Building positive brotherhood
  • Lessons learned from alumni
