November 15, 2025 – [Oxford, OH] – Following the report of hazing concerns at the Oklahoma Alpha Chapter, Phi Delta Theta participated in a joint investigation with the University of Oklahoma. This effort resulted in collaborative sanctions leading to organizational and individual accountability and education.
Phi Delta Theta expects that every member welcomed into the Fraternity is treated with respect and their safety is held in the highest regard. The organization does not tolerate any actions that directly contradict the values and policies of the Fraternity. The actions following the investigation provide an opportunity for reform within the chapter and the removal of members involved in the wrongdoing.
