Chapters interested in providing additional education to members through the Fraternity's Growth Programs should contact the Director of Fraternity Growth. The Director of Fraternity Growth can provide information about the chapter's completion rates for Certified Recruiter and ChapterBuilder training. Growth System training will be tracked through the system chapters receive training, so it is critical that chapter members complete the assessment at the end of each course. Chapters should have a minimum of 60% of members complete Certified Recruiter Training. However, we encourage chapters to have 100% of their members complete the training.

At a minimum, Officers, Recruitment Chairmen and BCA Recruitment Advisors should complete ChapterBuilder Training. We encourage all members who help recruit to complete ChapterBuilder training based on their role.

Those who want to set-up their Courageous Leader Scholarship, please review the Courageous Leader Scholarship Manual. This will guide you through the process. Reviewing this now will allow you to develop your timeline for implementing your scholarship.

For those who want to use grant money, you may use the Grant Template and work with the Senior Director of Education so you are ready to submit reimbursement. When you are ready to submit your reimbursement, please submit your grant request and the invoices/receipts through the online Grant Application Form.

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 can 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 several 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.

Participation is free for cabinet member who sign-up and 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, a chapter leader will meet with the Director of Education to confirm and get the details needed.

If you have questions, you can email the Director of Education Abby McCollom. If chapters want to use the IDI as their chapters DEIB program, they should email Abby McCollom to discuss using the Built to Lead Grant money to have their entire chapter participate.

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 Education 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.
