About This Site...
Disclaimer: This
site is by and for the Alumni of the Pennsylvania Theta Chapter
of Phi Delta Theta at Penn State that had it’s charter
suspended on December 7th, 2007 by the General Council of Phi
Delta Theta. We are complying with the rules of the suspension
as we understand them and are not pretending to be or trying
to represent that we are an active chapter of Phi Delta Theta
in any way. This site is not affiliated with Phi Delta Theta
and is not endorsed or supported by Phi Delta Theta. Click

Short Term
This site was rushed into existence the moment we heard
the house was sold. It's main purpose is to get the word out and involve
our entire brotherhood in the decisions about the future of our fraternity.
Long Term
We plan to continue developing this site into a tool for
the alumni and actives to better manage our chapter so we will never find
ourselves in this situation again.
Phi Delta Theta was founded as, and will always be a social
fraternity. However, it's affairs can and should be run like a modern
business. Using a little technology, we can measure and manage the state
of our chapter to ensure it's continued success and eliminate the cyclic
trends of most fraternities.
All of the following can be available on-line in real
time for any alumnus or active to review at any time...
