PARENTS

Letter to Parents

The graduate and undergraduate brotherhood of the Rho Chi Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta welcomes you to the University of Richmond. We are a chapter founded on the university’s campus in 1890 and have been active members of the university community ever since. The Rho Chi Chapter is home to over fifty (50) undergraduate brothers who adhere to our fundamental core values of Friendship, Knowledge, Service, Morality and Excellence.

The graduate brotherhood is comprised of nearly 1,000 brothers who all at one time have called Rho Chi their home at the University of Richmond.  These graduate brothers continue to demonstrate great interest in the Rho Chi chapter and are always available to provide resources and support to the undergraduate leadership and brothers.

As a student organization at the University of Richmond, we seek to develop our members to be the best men and leaders possible. With our emphasis on brotherhood, the our chapter focuses on support and encouragement both in and outside of the classroom. Through involvement and service in our community, the Rho Chi chapter becomes a “home away from home” for brothers from the time they accept their bids to well past their years in college.

Your son’s academic success is of the utmost importance, so we provide scholastic assistance in a variety of ways. We work with graduate brothers and a Scholarship Advisor to provide support and resources for our brothers. Additionally, if your son achieves a 3.2 GPA or higher during this term and becomes an initiated member of the Fraternity, he will be awarded $250 from the Phi Gamma Delta Educational Foundation.

Outside of the classroom, we encourage our members to pursue their favorite areas of interest, whether it is athletics, campus involvement, or other activities on or off campus. The development of each member is a priority. We aim to use our collective strength in service to the surrounding community.

We are a family at Fiji Rho Chi, and we want you to be comfortable and familiar with the Fraternity, since it will be your son’s second home while he is here at the University of Richmond. You can learn more about Phi Gamma Delta at www.phigam.org. And if you ever have any questions about the Fraternity, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Sincerely,
