Sound Learning
With a prime location close to the campus Library and over 1 million invested during the recent capital campaign into making the house into a study hot spot Phi Delt always records grades higher than the campus average. Each room has it’s own designated study space and there are more designated study spots throughout the house. Renovations combined with a strict no drinking policy on the property and several large scholarships contributes to the cardinal principle of sound learning.
