I have 3 children all of whom have graduated from Florida State. I graduated from Indiana and had I been able to afford it, I would have loved for them to attend Indiana. However that was not to be...When my oldest son enrolled at FSU I took him to the Phi Delt house to introduce him to them. The first 5 people we met after we entered the house were all high...several others were drunk and this at about 11 am. I encouraged him to go thorough rush and find an organization where he felt he fit in...but not Phi Delta Theta.

My daughter was a XO at FSU and my youngest son was a Phi Delt...he was 16 years younger than his brother and fortunately the FSU Chapter had done a complete turnaround and now has a very nice chapter there.

I was very happy he became a Phi Delt...in large part due to the fact that his great-grandfather, his grandfather, his father, his great-grandmother's brother, a great uncle and 3 of my cousins were all Phi Delts. I had saved and accumulated a lot of family Phi Delta Theta memorablia that I was happy to have someone to pass it on to.

Chapters change overtime and vary from one campus to another...families move about the country for whatever reasons, and the chosen area of study may be better offered at a different college or university.

A different perspective.
