What is a Fraternity?
"A Fraternity is an association of men, selected in their college days by democratic processes, because of their adherence to
common ideals and aspirations. Out of their association arises a personal relation which makes them unselfishly seek to advance
one another in the arts of life and to add, to the formal instruction of the college curriculum, the culture and character which men
acquire by contact with great personalities, or when admitted to partnership in great traditions.
A Fraternity, too, is of such character that after men have left college they delight to renew their own youth by continued association
with it and to bring their richest experiences back to the younger generation in part payment of the debt which they feel themselves
owe to the fraternity for what it gave them in their formative years."
-Newton D. Baker
Brother Newton D. Baker graduated from Johns Hopkins in 1892 and Washington and Lee in 1894. He is a member of The
Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta and served as President from 1905-1910. He served as The Secretary of War for the United States of
America from during World War I.
Why Join a Fraternity?
Greek life at the University of Bowling Green is a way to enrich the social experience and build life long friendships. Each Fraternity
has something different to offer on campus - as the passage above says, men in a Fraternity adhere to common ideals and
aspriations. The point of the recruitment period or rush period is to give interested men a chance to meet the different brotherhoods
and observe how each chapter acts and functions differently. It is a process of mutual selection - Individuals are granted bids at the
conclusion of the week of formal pledging. Besides offering friendship and fun, Fraternities offer service oppertunities, academic
support, and a means to network with alumni. Scholarship is a focus of many of the Fraternities on campus. There are a lot of
constructive events Fraternities take part in every year, like philanthropy and community service. The only way to decide if a Fraternity
is right for you is to go out and meet greek men on campus.
Why Fiji?
Phi Gamma Delta has existed at the University of Bowling Green since 1984. Nearly 200 men have been initated as brothers in our
chapter. We have a rich history of success, and successful brothers. We enjoy our rich history, but at the same time we're still
building the future. We are proud of our diversified brotherhood. We have scholars, athletes, musicians, and more. Despite these
differing characteristics, we have a strong brotherhood based upon what we do have in common.
What are the statistics on fraternities?
Fraternity men represent a very small percentage; only two percent of men in the United States.
However, this two percent is a very powerful group of individuals.
-Approximately 80% of the top executives of Fortune 500 companies are fraternity men.
-100 of the 158 cabinet members since 1900 have been fraternity men.
-All but two United States Presidents since 1825 have been fraternity men.
-40% of the 47 Supreme Court Justices since 1910 have been fraternity men.
-The majority (71%) of those listed in Who's Who in America are fraternity men.
-76% of current United States Senators and Congressman are fraternity men.
The opportunities are endless and the benefits speak for themselves.
