Why Join Phi Delta Chi?

Phi Delta Chi offers pharmacy students many  benefits:

  • Joining Phi Delta Chi allows students to interact with students from different graduating classes.  This unique opportunity can be very helpful while studying, buying books, finding jobs, and signing up for internships.

  • Our rush will not occupy too much of your valuable time.  We will have rush events during evenings and meetings during the lunch hour on weekdays.

  • As a member of a professional fraternity, you will have the opportunity to belong to an organization dedicated to the advancement of the science of pharmacy. 

  • The Phi chapter contributes to both the community and university by participating in the many professional projects annually.

  • The fraternity provides a variety of leadership positions as committee chairperson or as an officer. 

  • Phi Delta Chi stresses the importance of scholastic development.  Group study sessions and team work are a few examples of the many ways Phi Delta Chi's help each other in school.  Brothers further in the curriculum can offer help to those taking classes they have already taken.

  • Of course there is more to a professional fraternity than rush and meetings.  You will have a tremendous opportunity to make many new lifelong friends, and to network at local, regional, and national events. 

  • Last and certainly not least, we have a lot of fun.  We hang out on weekends, play in the summer softball league, got to regional meetings as  a fraternity, and do a whole host of other activities.

What Are Some Activities PDXers Do?

  • Monthly formal meetings, along with informal meetings as necessary to disseminate information to the members.  These meetings keep members informed with upcoming events.

  • Participate in committees: Each member must assist one committee with their proceedings (ex. professional, fundraising, social).  We encourage personal and professional development for our members.  We believe leadership is developed through actively participating and organizing events/committees.   

  • Participate in fundraising events.  Examples include: Bake sales, concession stands at sporting events.  The funds are distributed among fraternity events and donation to local charities and health organizations to support their cause.

  • Have the opportunity to participate in intramural outings (volleyball, basketball, softball, football, others).  We are planning to organize sports teams to participate in IM.  We understand many of our members are athletic and were members on teams at their respective schools.  Therefore, we organize teams to participate competitively in school events.

  • Have the opportunity to participate in social outings (parties, gatherings, laser tags, etc)  As a major element of the fraternity, the social functions serve as a way for our members to establish life time fraternal bonds. 

How Do I Join?  

This fall semester the Phi Chapter of Phi Delta Chi will invite you to become a member of our Fall 2007 pledge class.  Students can attend a variety of events to acquaint themselves with the association prior to committing to pledge Phi Delta Chi.  If you are interested in learning more about Phi Delta Chi watch for our announcements. The Phi Chapter will announce the rush events schedule for the semester to all pharmacy students, either through list serve or through mailbox notices. You can also check out the Phi Delta Chi bulletin board located in Criss Basement.  We encourage you to attend any upcoming PDX events to find out more and we look forward to meeting you!
