Iron Phi Rivalries - August 1 - November 30

Iron_Phi_Rivalries

ri·val·ry – a competition for the same objective or for superiority in the same field.

 

College rivalries are fun. Whether it is in the world of admissions, athletics, regional components, the Greek community, in the classroom, during intramurals, or even within Phi Delta Theta itself, the competitive nature that comes with rivalries pushes all of us to become better. To Become the Greatest Version of Ourselves.

Iron Phi Rivalries was created to harvest very positive competition within Phi Delta Theta for a cause worth fighting for; a cause that is moving both the Fraternity and its fight against ALS forwardi.

Through Iron Phi Rivalries, Iron Phi is going local and getting personal, pairing Phi Delt chapters against each other to compete each fall. The collective competitive juices from Iron Phi Rivalries will spark great momentum for Phi Delt chapters, individual participants, Iron Phi, and the impact that we are able to make through the Live Like Lou Foundation and Phi Delta Theta.
