ALUMNI NEWS
members. We moved into our newly
renovated chapter house in late August of
2015 and are taking advantage of the facility
that has so generously been renovated for
future generations of Phi Delts. On behalf of
the men of Iowa Delta, I want to express my
sincere gratitude and most humble thanks
to our gracious alumni, the Iowa Delta
Housing Corporation, supportive figures
at Phi Delta Theta General Headquarters,
our faculty advisor, Dr. Janet McMahill,
members of the Drake community, and Phi
Delts everywhere for the encouragement,
support, and brotherly love. We could not do
this without you.
We encourage all alumni to drop by the
house whenever you please! Our house is
your house.
Yours in the Bond,
