Welcome to the Rho Upsilon Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) at UC Riverside
“The forces that have been greatest in my life have been God and the college fraternity that molded me." -Thomas Riley Marshall (Wabash 1872)
Welcome to the one of the most prestigious fraternities in the World. Phi Gamma Delta was founded in 1848 upon the values of Friendship, Knowledge, Service, Morality and Excellence. Phi Gamma Delta, also called Fiji or Phi Gam, brings out the best in an individual. Phi Gamma Deltas excel academically. We challenge each other as brothers. We serve the community and those less fortunate. Phi Gamma Deltas are gentlemen of quality and most importantly we strive for excellence in everything we do. If you are looking for a fraternity that will help you develop as a leader and as an individual, than look no further.
In Phi Gamma Delta you will find men who genuinely care about you and your success as a person and as a student. The positive peer development which exists challenges each man to perform at a higher level. It is the experience of brotherhood and of sharing ideals and academic goals which leads to lifelong friendships.
In Phi Gamma Delta
- We are united by Friendship. It is the basis of our brotherhood. Because of it, we accomplish far more than we do as individuals. Friendship is the sweetest influence.
- We promote the pursuit of Knowledge. It is the key to a fuller, richer life. We gain it through education, the harmonious development of the powers of the individual.
- We encourage Service. We have the ability, the opportunity, and the duty to serve our fellow human beings. Our reward is the satisfaction that comes from serving.
- We believe in Morality. As gentlemen of quality we must do what is right as individuals and as a group. Moral behavior is the basis of our society's existence.
- We strive for Excellence. It is attained only when we fulfill our total potential. Mankind benefits when each of us becomes all that we can be.
