The first quarter of 2025 has been a season of extraordinary momentum for the Phi Delta Theta Foundation, made possible by the incredible generosity of our loyal donors. Together, we are strengthening brotherhood, expanding opportunity, and shaping a brighter future for Phi Delta Theta.
Milestones Achieved
Thanks to your support, the Foundation has already delivered tangible impact across Phi Delt Nation:
- Largest McKenzie Family Presidents Leadership Conference: We hosted the biggest gathering in the program’s history, equipping hundreds of new chapter presidents with leadership tools rooted in courage, character, and service.
- 112 First-Generation New Member Scholarships Awarded: With a total of $153,200 distributed, we empowered first-generation college students to embark on their Phi Delt journey with meaningful support.
- Record Undergraduate Scholarship Applications: More undergraduates than ever before demonstrated their commitment to academic excellence by applying for Foundation scholarships this spring.
- Our Largest Foundation Event Yet: In April, we gathered in Dallas, where we inducted Clark Hunt, CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs into the Phi Delta Theta Sports Hall of Fame and raised $100,000 in one evening to establish two new scholarships for Texas undergraduates.
These achievements reflect the true spirit of our brotherhood: investing in each other, lifting one another higher, and creating opportunities for future generations of Phis.
Celebrating Our Donors
The success of this quarter would not have been possible without the tremendous generosity of brothers and friends across North America. Hundreds of donors from chapters stretching from California to Florida, and Oregon to Ontario, have already contributed to making 2025 a year of record impact.
Each name on our donor list represents a vital link in the chain of commitment that drives the Foundation’s work forward. Whether an undergraduate making his first gift, a loyal alumnus, or a friend of Phi Delt, every supporter plays a critical role in building the educational and leadership resources that define the Phi Delta Theta experience.
Looking Ahead: Join Us in Strengthening the Bond
As we turn the corner into the second quarter, the Foundation is poised for even greater achievements:
- In June, we will award a record number of academic and leadership scholarships to deserving undergraduate brothers.
- We will launch Phase 2 of Campaign 2030 during General Convention in Atlanta—a bold step forward in our mission to elevate Phi Delt’s educational impact.
- And from June 19–21, undergraduates and alumni alike will rally during the Giving Days Chapter Challenge, strengthening all the Fraternity and battling for chapter specific funds.
If you have already contributed this year—thank you. Your generosity is writing the next great chapter of Phi Delta Theta’s story.
If you have not yet made a gift in 2025, there’s still time to be part of this growing momentum. Every dollar strengthens leadership programs, funds scholarships, and equips brothers for lives of excellence and service.
