Phi Delta Theta - University of Illinois

Over the weekend several brothers participated in the University of Illinois`s day of service, iHelp. It is great to see brothers giving their time to help the community.

Congratulations to brother Ryan Rowden for winning USIBA Nationals! Along with winning the tournament Rowden also became an Iron Phi!

Very proud of our Ben Samborn and his work with Illinois IFC in mandating a new sexual assault awareness workshop

UI fraternities participate in sexual assault awareness workshops. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS -- Sexual assault is a problem on college campuses across the country, and now UI fraternities are changing the way they teach members about how to stop it.

Happy International Women's Day to the many women who help make Phi Delta Theta great!

We may not be first, but we're in the top three...sort of.

Happy holidays, and good luck to everyone studying for finals!

We send a big thank you to Tim Mousseau who facilitated a conversation about sexual assault with many of our actives and initiates tonight. Our chapter stands against sexual assault and is committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity and accountability.

Congratulations to our own Ben Samborn (VP Risk Management) and the rest of the new 2017 IFC Executive Board!

Ali co-founded a non-profit connecting returning veterans with their communities, Team Red, White & Blue. Check out the University of Michigan Law School's recent feature on our fellow Phi!

The men of the Illinois Eta Chapter of Phi Delta are hosting our second annual Phiathlon, an event created to raise money for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (better known as ALS). Our chapter is seeking generous businesses and individuals interested in partnering as sponsors for the event, which will be held on October 3rd.

Sponsorship funds will contribute to the promotion, planning, and operation of the event. Funds will be used to subsidize the cost components such as renting of the field, promotion, and purchasing of supplies, as well as to make a bulk donation to the ALS Association.

If you think you're company would be interested in being a sponsor to this event or you are interested in donating, please contact our philanthropy chairman, Michael Rindler, at [email protected] for more information.
