Eight brothers braced freezing waters during this year's Polar
Bear Plunge, benefitting the Special Olympics of Maryland.
Brothers Set the Foundation for a
Strong Start to the 2017-2018 School Year
The active brothers of Maryland Alpha are
maintaining a positive presence on campus and
in the surrounding community. As the 2016-2017
school year draws to a close, members have many
outstanding accomplishments to be proud of.
Currently, the chapter holds a strong GPA of
3.15 and recently initiated 24 exceptional men
this spring. This is an increase of 13 brothers
compared to fall recruitment.
As always, active brothers are dedicated
to giving back to the community through
philanthropy events. Their annual Casino Night
had an excellent turnout and raised $26,000. All
proceeds were donated to TAH, MedFund and
ALS. Additionally, brothers cosponsored Gamma
Phi Beta's kickball tournament, "Benefit Girls
on the Run." This youth program inspires young
women to be joyful, healthy and confident.
In addition to hosting their own philanthropy
events, eight brothers participated in this year's
Polar Bear Plunge. The proceeds from this event,
over $2,000, benefitted the Special Olympics of
Maryland.
The active brothers of Phi Delta Theta at the
University of Maryland are extremely proud of this
year's accomplishments and appreciate continued
alumni support. Alumni are always welcome to
come visit the house and connect with
fellow brothers.
