Our national past time is always held dear to Phis. No other fraternity has had such a lasting legacy on the game of baseball than Phi Delta Theta. 6 Phis are members of The Baseball Hall of Fame, more than any other fraternity. Phi Delta Theta also has the distinction of being the only fraternity to have an award officially recognized by a pro league, the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award. Given annually to the player who best exemplifies the giving character of Lou Gehrig both on and off the field, the presention makes headlines not only among the Phi Delt community but also in the Major League Baseball community.
