Phi Delta Theta NC Alpha (Duke)

Happy birthday to our Chapter Advisor, Mr. Stephen Barringer! Thanks for all you've done for the chapter!

Our brothers, new members, and dates had a great time at our annual Mountain Weekend on beautiful Beech Mountain!

Some brothers and friends celebrating President Brodhead's final Homecoming Dance last weekend! A great time was had by all.

We are very excited for brother Sebastian Lin to be applying for the fall IFC Scholarship to go toward his Spring dues! Best of luck, Sebastian, though we're sure you don't need it!

We are all moved in and ready for another year in Craven X. Though the grass may be dead, our excitement for this year remains very much alive. Happy 2016-2017 academic year from all the brothers of Phi Delta Theta!

We're super excited today to be Blue Devils: it was just announced that Jeremy Cash has been named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year - the 1st in Duke history!

Also, the women's soccer team faces off against Florida State in the NCAA Final Four on Friday. It's a big week for Duke Athletics!

Yesterday evening a mix of graduated and active members of Phi Delta Theta, joined by a mix of other Duke students, met on the Chapel steps to bring attention to mental health issues and specifically to remember Duke graduate Cliff Brandt, a NC Alpha Brother. As a chapter our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to those close to Brandt. Those brothers that are still on campus will continue to advocate for increased support for mental health issues.

In a chronicle article on the event you can read Brothers Ryan Bowman and Arturo Reyes talk about areas they believe we should strive to improve as a university.

The brothers of NC Alpha are proud to call Gene a Brother in the Bond and to be able to learn from commitment and passion to the Durham community.

Who is the owner of Devine's? How former Duke tight end Gene Devine went from the gridiron to managing one of Durham's most successful restaurants.

Proudly honoring all who have served to protect our freedom, but more especially the NC Alpha Phis. Below are several before deployment to WWII.

We would like to congratulate our brothers who graduated today! You have all left your marks on the chapter and have set a great example for us going forward. Good luck in your next endeavors, and make sure to visit for alumni weekend next year!
