phi delt on your campus?

[SLOTheta]

We have Phi Delts here at Cal Poly, SLO and just had an exchange with them for Halloween. They were fun and crazy guys, but I don't think we'd do another event with them. They brought along tramps that they labeled their "little sisters" to a closed Theta event, even after they were told to leave, the brothers refused and they stayed, creating a very non-friendly seen, needless to say, we hung out with the fabulous and friendly Theta Chi's that night who were gentlemen.

wow i am really disappointed with that. we're friendly with the Thetas on our campus and i can say for sure that we would never treat them or any other group like that. i hope my brothers at SLO at least apologized later. i am sorry your phi delt experience was like that.

Cal:
I was really bummed about the exchange, too. I had met the president and a few other guys a few weeks earlier when we gave up our table at a local pizza place to them. They seemed super nice and excited about the exchange. It was our first event with them, and didn't know what to expect, and well, they just weren't the greatest bunch of guys. Oh wells, maybe it was an off night, 18 other fraternities to do stuff with, and there's only 5 other sororities for them to choose from, their loss! I'm sure not all chapters are the same, different people, different houses. Good luck with your house, and I hear the Thetas there rock!

On my campus, Phi Delts are very 'closed'. If that makes any sense. They have very tight control over their members, and one of the restrictions is that they are not allowed to date Sigmas. Yes, that's what I said. Not allowed to date us. (I think it stems from about 10 years ago-there was a falling out between one of us and one or two of them, and they spread so much untruth about us that our chapter size reduced by half in the span of two years ) (Not a problem any more, though, we are initiating to quota tomorrow night, and I believe we are the third largest house on campus again... )

We have not participated in a major event with them since 1995. This is very unusual, as we have 6 sororities and 9 fraternities (one of whom just got back on campus this semester, and three of which are small enough that they are always paired with another fraternity and a sorority). Greek Week pairs are chosen for us, and homecoming is done by fraternity invite. Seems fishy to me...

What frustrates me the most about the whole situation is that their advisor is the campus Priest, whom I greatly respect. I don't think he knows about half the stuff they do when he's not around.

I will say that they are not ALL like this-there is a very nice Phi Delt in my (very small) department who sat next to me in class last year and always says hello when he sees me on campus. (Granted, I don't fit the stereotype of what they think Sigmas are...but that shouldn't matter.)

I had a friend who was a phi delt from sac state(alum) and we both worked at this group home in sacramento. He was a great guy. He went on to work for the chp.

I haven't met any of the Phi Delts here yet, but my sorority sisters have nothing but good things to say about them.

My boyfriend is a Phi Delt at SLO. SO i read this post and found it very unlike the them. All the guys I know in Phi Delt are awesome. There are always a few exceptions, but the Phi Delt I know would go out of his way to help. And those girls that they said were their "little sisters" They aren't tramps, it was Halloween, and just for the info, 2 of them ARE in fact younger sisters of 2 of the Phi Delts and are not associated with any sosority on campus. I guess its just a matter of prefrence though...I love the Phi Delts!!!!

Well, Im glad that the Phi's at SLO can be cool as all Phi Delts should be Hopefully my bros and i are taking a road trip up that way soon and we were hoping to stop by the phi delt house, it would be cool to meet all those guys.
