Come watch the Blue take on the White and help us build our Blueprint for the next 100 years!

April 22nd - 23rd, 2005

Two of our founders - Clyde Culp '06 and John Cosgrove '04

All of our lives changed on May 10th, 1904, when the Pennsylvania Theta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta was installed at Penn State. For the next two and a half years, through hard work, Phi ingenuity, and sheer determination, our founders, including Clyde Culp '06 (grandfather of Pete Culp '61 and Jake Culp '64) and John Cosgrove '04 (father of Jack Cosgrove '38), designed, financed, and built our beloved chapter house and finally moved in the Fall of 1906.

Our original floor plan in 1906

Campus map - circa 1910. Can you find Phi Delt?

Our beloved house in all her glory - circa 1960

Now it's our turn. On May 9th, 2004, exactly 100 years minus 1 day from the birth of our chapter, we met in the special Alumni Corporation Meeting during our Centennial Celebration and voted to go forward in an attempt to save our chapter.

Great things have happened in the past 10 months. Our actives and alumni have united on a mission to return our chapter to its former glory. Please join us at the house for Blue/White weekend to see our progress and help us build the blueprint for the next 100 years.
