UCF's Phi Delt chapter finished the Fall semester strong when they took 3 of the 10 available IFC positions on campus with only one other fraternity claiming two.  Jeremy Tellor ( V.P of Public Relations), Luiz Centenaro (Council Relations Chair), and Ryan Garrett (New Member Education Chair) are all excited to represent Phi Delt this year and hope to continue breading leaders within IFC and around campus in the future.
 
Florida Iota followed up this semester by recruiting the largest new member class on campus by adding 25 Phikeia to their roster.  This brings chapter membership total to 116 with less than 10 graduating this semester.  "I am really excited with the direction this fraternity is headed," said Ryan Garrett, former chapter president and current IFC and Greek Council Exec member.  "Our current brothers have potential to do great things on this campus and I am looking forward toward seeing what they bring to the table."

On January 30th seven Phis at the Maryland Beta Chapter, McDaniel College, participated in the Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge benefiting the Special Olympics at Sandy Point State Park. The chapter raised and donated $1,649 for the cause. They drove out on Saturday morning with the Phi Sigma Sigma sorority and plunged into the blistering cold Chesapeake Bay.

After a long two weeks of recruiting, voting, and extension of bids, the brothers of Nebraska Gamma  at Creighton University welcomed the Alpha Beta class of Phikeia into the brotherhood this past Friday.  The class consists of 27 new members after 35 bids were handed out.   Weekend activities included bid acceptance on Friday afternoon followed by a brotherhood retreat on Friday night.  The retreat was a great opportunity for the new Phikeias to meet the brothers and for us to meet them. 

The Alpha Beta class is another successful class that Creighton Phi’s have recruited since attending Recruitment Boot Camp (RBC) in January 2009.  New Phikeia, Lance Glunz said about the weekend, “The first weekend has been fun, exciting, and intense, it was an emotional roller coaster. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me as a Phi Delt and to join the brotherhood of Phi Delta Theta.”  Nebraska Gamma's recruitment chairmen have successfully recruited 71 Phikeias since the 2009 RBC and the chapter has not lost one Phikeia during the process. 

"This is a great time to be a Nebraska Gamma Phi with all of the new members revitalizing the chapter and with winning the Founder’s Trophy six months ago."  Chapter president, Mike Kulig said, “ Winning the Founder’s trophy was an honor, but the chapter really hits a high point during this time of year.  The growth of the chapter has only been a benefit to the brotherhood and the fact that we have not lost one Phikeia in the past year is a testament to our friendship and care for each individual member.”
