A Remarkable Year of Impact So Far: Advancing the Mission of Phi Delta Theta – Phi Delta Theta

Oct 13, 2025
As 2025 reached its midpoint, the Phi Delta Theta Foundation celebrated a truly remarkable year of progress. Thanks to the generosity of our brothers and friends, the Foundation has already awarded over $575,000 in scholarships to support 519 recipients from 133 chapters across North America—and this is only halfway through the award period. Even more scholarships are scheduled to be distributed this fall, ensuring that our impact will continue to grow in the months ahead.
These scholarships offer more than financial support—they enable recipients to access new opportunities and reinforce Phi Delta Theta’s values of Friendship, Sound Learning, and Rectitude. Looking ahead, we hope to grow these scholarships even further as part of Campaign 2030: A Greater Version for Tomorrow, expanding our impact and providing even more members with resources to thrive and succeed.
Each of these awards represents more than just a dollar amount—they’re a reflection of the Fraternity’s deep commitment to building future leaders. From first-generation students to student-athletes and chapter officers, this year’s 519 recipients represent 133 different chapters across North America — a powerful testament to the widespread impact of the scholarship program.
As we look to the future, the Phi Delta Theta Foundation is committed to growing these programs and reaching even more deserving students. Together, we are building a stronger, smarter, and more service-minded brotherhood.
This year’s impact spanned academic disciplines, leadership roles, and campus involvement. From first-generation college students to chapter presidents, the stories behind each recipient reflect the depth of character and potential within our brotherhood.
One recipient expressed the meaningful connection between scholarship and Fraternity values, writing:
“Being a member of Phi Delta Theta has been one of the most meaningful parts of my college experience. The values of friendship, sound learning, and rectitude resonate deeply with me. It is truly humbling to be connected to Jordan L. Haines’s legacy through this scholarship.”
Another shared how donor support provided critical financial relief:
“The Proud to be a Missouri Alpha Phi Scholarship has completely opened new opportunities for me and has alleviated my financial burdens. This scholarship gives me the liberty to focus on my academic goals and curricular involvement, and I cannot say thank you enough.”
Still another recipient reflected on how support fuels personal growth and leadership:
“As a proud member of Phi Delta Theta at the University of Puget Sound, I have been fortunate to grow as a student, athlete, leader, and brother—especially this last year being on the executive team as Treasurer. Your investment in students like me is a powerful reminder of the lifelong impact that alumni and supporters have on our Fraternity’s future.”
