Phi Gamma Delta has named Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) a strategic priority, meaning all levels of the Fraternity need to take opportunities to learn and grow. Staff, Archons and Appointed Volunteer Leaders (AVL) have led the way by participating in the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI).

As an Early Adopter, your chapter has the opportunity to join Fraternity leadership by having your cabinet and DEIB Chairman (if applicable) participate in the IDI:
The IDI® assesses intercultural competence – the capability to shift cultural perspective and appropriately adapt behavior to cultural differences and commonalties. Intercultural competence has been identified as a critical capability in a number of studies focusing on overseas effectiveness of international sojourners, international business adaptation and job performance, international student adjustment, international transfer of technology and information, international study abroad, and inter-ethnic relations within nations. To learn more, visit the IDI website. 

Participation in the IDI means all cabinet members and the DEIB Chairman will participate in an assessment that usually takes 15-20 minutes to complete and participate in a debrief to review their assessment. During the debrief, you will discuss next steps for learning and growth based on your results. Individual IDI results are private and will not be shared with anyone other than the trained facilitator conducting your debrief. If you have questions about confidentiality, please contact the Abby McCollom.

Participating is free as long as those who sign-up fully participate in the IDI. If a member does not fully participate, the chapter will be billed for the cost of their participation. Full participation means:

• Completion of the pre-IDI training course on Phi Gamma Delta’s LMS.
• Completion of the IDI Assessment.
• Participation in individual debrief within three weeks of completing IDI Assessment.

Complete the IDI Sign-Up Form to register your chapter. Once the form is received, the IDI Assessments will be sent to those indicated on the form.

If you have questions, you can schedule a meeting (please indicate this meeting is to discuss the IDI) with the Director of Undergraduate Member Experience Abby McCollom or email her.

Early Adopter chapters can have three members register for The Leadership Institute for free. Visit www.phigam.org/LeadershipInstitute for more information and to register.

If you have questions, contact Director of Undergraduate Member Experience Abby McCollom. 

UIFI (Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute) is a four-day, three-night, immersive leadership experience hosted by AFLV. During UIFI, fraternity/sorority students come together to challenge conventional wisdom, discover new solutions to critical problems and accelerate progress in their communities.

Phi Gamma Delta offers scholarships for 25 brothers to attend UIFI. These scholarships will be awarded on a first come, first-serve basis, and they cover the cost of registration for the Institute. However, the chapter/individual is responsible for the cost of travel to Bloomington, Indiana (many IFCs, Greek life offices and student governments offer assistance for educational travel).

Contact Senior Director of Education Lauren Tanner-Leif if you have questions or to claim a scholarship.

• Begin using the Growth System trainings.
• Start using ChapterBuilder.

  (Use this evaluation grid to start discussions about the chapter's plan to transition their programming as needed. If you need support as you evaluate the grid with the chapter, contact Director of Undergraduate Member Experience Abby McCollom.)
  • Area 1: Currently achieving the program objective.
  • Area 2: The chapter's program is close to meeting the objective, meaning the chapter could add or alter the program minimally to achieve a Built to Lead program objective.
  • Area 3: Not currently completing the objective.
  • Area 4: There are areas you have questions about.
• Begin adapting current programs to meet expectations detailed above.
  • Programs in Area 1: Build these into the chapters regular programming.

Recruitment of BCA Members:

Begin reviewing the BCA roles and responsibilities provided for each BCA position associated with the New Model. As you review, build a list of individuals who fit that criterion. Once identified, work with your Section Leader to begin asking those individuals to join the BCA. We are aware that recruiting volunteers will look different for each chapter, our Graduate Engagement staff are available to help provide support for your recruitment of BCA members.

BCA support comes in a variety of forms. Consider what is best for the chapter and what has already been established by the BCA. If you have questions about whether local or remote advising is best for the chapter, please contact the Senior Director of Graduate Engagement.
