Drake FIJI

Phi Gamma Delta, also known as FIJI, exists to promote lifelong friendships, to reaffirm high ethical standards and values, and to foster personal development in the pursuit of excellence. Phi Gamma Delta is committed to provide opportunities for each brother to develop responsibility, leadership, scholarship and social skills in order to become a fully contributing member of society. We exist for two major reasons: development of our members and service to the institution that fosters us. The Delta Iota Chapter welcomes you to our website and invites you to learn about our chapter and fraternity.

“Fraternity is one of the most skillfully devised institutions known among men, whereby a boy at the age of life where he is perhaps at once the most disorganized and the most receptive, is brought into fellowship of kindred spirits, of people who love him, and believe in him, and thereby help him to find himself and become the man that the Almighty God meant him to be.”

–Dr. Norman V. Pearle (Ohio Wesleyan 1920)

The Word

Its the most wonderful time of the year! Ladies and Gentlemen FIJI Island week has come upon us once again. This year the men of Phi Gamma Delta will be raising money for "Colleen's Dream- Supporting Ovarian Cancer Research." Colleen's Dream is a organization founded by NFL Kicker Billy Cundiff, a Drake and FIJI alum. Billy has asked for our help this week and will be flying out to Des Moines to partner with us in the Thursday night event. The weeks activities are outlined below:

Monday through Friday: T-Shirt and Tank Top sales in Olmstead Breezeway, $12 for a shirt/tank or $15 for double points.

Wednesday: Auctions! Starting at 7 PM the men of FIJI will auction off their talents and services. More details to come soon!

Thursday: Kicking With Cundiff! Come over to the Drake Stadium to participate in a field goal kicking contest. You can pre-register all week at the table in Olmstead. Billy himself will be in attendance.

Friday: Fill as many water balloons as you can and turn them in at the FIJI house between 9:30 and 10:30AM. One point will be awarded for each water balloon filled.

Saturday: Find yourself a date and join us for the legendary FIJI Island party from 6-10!

Thanks to everyone for your support!
