Phi Delta Theta was founded in 1848 at the University of Miami in Ohio on three principles: Friendship, Sound Learning and Moral Rectitude. Ripon’s chapter is one of more than 158 active chapters in the United States and Canada. Phi Delta Theta enjoys a long and colorful history, and its members have achieved some of the highest military honors, awards and offices including the President of the United States.

The Phi Delts at Ripon are involved in many different organizations on campus, with members in all levels of leadership. Their philanthropic efforts have worked to educate Ripon students each fall on the dangers of fire in the residence halls with their Fire Safety programs. Also working with the local Fire Department, brothers have raised money and awareness for such a “hot” issue. Along with the 6,500 other undergraduate members around the world, the Phi Delta Thetas work to uphold those founding principles set forth more than 150 years ago.
