To honor and rekindle the leadership experiences of Phi Delta Theta alumni, General Headquarters has initiated a special tradition: sending Kleberg memory emails to those who attended the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute. This year, the emails have been sent to alumni celebrating ten years since their Kleberg experience in 2014. These emails serve as a heartfelt reminder of the impact and lessons learned during their time at Kleberg, reinforcing the lifelong connection and commitment to the Fraternity’s values and mission.

In ten years, you’re going to receive an email notification from Phi Delta Theta General Headquarters with photos from your time at the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute, and you’ll have a good laugh. Things sure do change over a decade, but I tell you this: you’ll appreciate the memories and experiences like these that shaped your journey.
Your decision to attend Kleberg and step into a leadership role within the fraternal organization is more significant than you can imagine. This choice will set the stage for the rest of your life. True leadership is about making impactful decisions, and by choosing to get involved now, you are contributing to a prosperous future.
As you grow in the spirit of Friendship, Sound Learning, and Rectitude, remember that these qualities will shape you into someone others respect, trust, and follow. Understand that the efforts you put in today are laying the groundwork for your future successes.
See how far your limits will take you, and embrace your journey with confidence and conviction.
With admiration,
