"I joined Fiji because I couldn't find
more genuine people anywhere else
on the hill. Everyone wanted to get to
know me, and it assured me I'd make
some of my best friends here."
–Carter Daigle '25
"Friendship. One thing that is so crucial
in college is making lifelong connections
that will prosper and make life more
fulfilling. These friendships build not only
the individuals, but also bring closer the
Fraternity as a whole. Phi Gamma Delta
truly fosters 'Not for College Days Alone,'
and that is a massive reason for joining the
Fraternity. Representing something bigger
than myself and being counted on by others
builds not just maturity, but also a better man."
–Luis Rubio '25
"It was a good group of guys that
genuinely wanted to see me in the
house and to succeed. The brotherhood
is impeccable and unrivaled."
–Remy Wood '25
