About the chapter

We strive to make a lasting impact on as many people's lives as possible using our philanthropy, community service, and kindness within the Ames community. Our organization works hard but also lets our hair down when the time is right.

“I love it here at Phi Delt because each member's goal in college is to better themselves, each other, and the community around them. We have each other's backs, but on top of that, we work hard to make a public difference in society. The lifelong bond that I have created amongst my brothers is something that I will never take for granted.”

Ryan Green, 2025 Chapter President
