ABOUT

6/20/2024 - 10:15 p.m. Update


Rules for the final hours of the competition:

  • Online donations count through 12:01 p.m. Pacific time on 6/21/2024.
  • Checks must be received by Tuesday, 6/25/2024, to count towards the chapter competition.
  • Reach out to Katie Rufener at the Phi Delta Theta Foundation if you have questions: Krufener@phideltatheta.org.



The Phi Delta Theta Foundation exists to fund leadership education and scholarships. Each of the 200 chapters receives an average of $8,500 in support from the Foundation each year. The Foundation also awards more than $600,000 in scholarships annually to help Phis fund their education. Your support today ensures we can continue providing resources and scholarships to Phis. 


Today only, you can help your chapter win an extra $2,000 in funding for the next academic year. Chapters can use these funds as they see fit to fund educational experiences or academic awards for their chapter members. 8 chapters will win funding.


How it works:

  • Each chapter has been divided into a division based on the number of living alumni:
  • Alpha Division: 1,250 or more living alumni
  • Beta Division: 750 to 1,249 living alumni
  • Gamma Division: 250 to 749 living alumni
  • Delta Division: 249 or fewer living alumni
  • Within its division, each chapter is competing for one of two titles:
  • Most Dollars Raised
  • Highest participation percentage (# of member donors/ total number of alumni = participation percentage)
  • Eight chapters will win, one chapter cannot win more than one award. If a chapter is in the top spot for dollars raised and participation percentage, the chapter that is second for dollars raised will receive second place in its division.
  • Dollars are available for chapter use starting July 1, 2024.
