Chapter President's Report
The active brothers of Maryland Alpha are maintaining a positive presence on campus and in
the surrounding community. As the 2018-19 school year is underway, members have many
outstanding accomplishments to be proud of in the past year. Currently, the chapter holds
a strong GPA of 3.19. This is a .04 increase since the end of last fall. This is due in part to an
exceptional spring 2018 new member class. The 20 newest initiates of Maryland Alpha achieved
a new member class GPA of 3.32, which ranked the third highest out of all new member classes.
As always, active brothers are dedicated to giving back to the community through philanthropy
events. This past school year Maryland Alpha held its first-ever "Phi Delt Phair." Held at RJ
Bentleys, the brothers were able to raise over $15,000 for the Special Olympics of Maryland. This
event was a great success, especially considering it was its first time being held. Their annual
Casino Night had an excellent turnout as well and raised over $20,000 for various organizations.
Students from other Greek organizations and the community attended the first night held at
the chapter house, while parents and alumni joined the following night at Terrapins Turf. All
proceeds were donated to the Live Like Lou Foundation for ALS, Terps Against Hunger, and
MedFund. Additionally, brothers cosponsored various sorority and fraternity events such as Delta
Sigma Phi and Alpha Omicron Pi's Night of the Carnation and Kappa Delta's Gala for the Girls.
The active brothers of Phi Delta Theta at the University of Maryland are extremely proud of this
year's accomplishments and look forward to continuing their successes. As always, alumni are
always welcome to come visit the house and connect with fellow brothers.
