Phi Gamma Delta (nicknamed FIJI) was founded at Jefferson College in 1848. It has since progressed from one simple chapter into the large network of 115 chapters that it is today.

Founded at Iowa State in 1907, our chapter recently celebrated 100 years of successful operations, making us the longest running house on campus. The chapter is housed in our facilities at 325 Ash Avenue, where we have been since it was originally constructed in 1917. The facilities have since been through 3 major renovations, and a fire. We are currently undergoing a 2.5 million dollar renovation process. To see the current chapter house, visit our house tour. This chapter has produced men such as Guy S. Brewer (won the French Medal of Honor in WWI), George L. McCain (who invented the Liberty engine for WWII), and Richard D. McCormick (founder and former President and CEO of Quest). Through educational programming, mentor programs, and scholarships rewards, we strive to achieve academically. We also offer leadership development in the form of graduate mentor programs, interaction with professors and faculty, and the opportunity to take leadership roles within the chapter. FIJIs are known around the community for their philanthropic efforts. Our chapter puts on several events that go to benefit the American Red Cross and the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society.

The Greek Community here at Iowa State University has been recognized for its collective excellence year after year. This past February, it earned top honors at the Mid-American Greek Council Association (MGCA) annual conference by winning the Jellison Award. To learn more, visit www.greek.iastate.edu.
