Leaving it better than we found it

Phi Delta Theta is commited to leaving the world better than we found it. Our motto "eis aner oudeis aner", literally one man means no man, is more broadly understood to mean: We Enjoy Life by the Help and Society of Others. Lou Gherig, a proud Phi, was diagnosed with ALS June 19, 1939. While facing his life threatening diagnosis, Gehrig choose to aknowledge just how lucky he was in life. In that moment, Gehrig choose humitly and gratitude over himself. And that is why Phi Delta Theta chooses to honor that commitment to others with the Live LIke Lou Foundation. An organization commmited to to create and connect communities, to stimulate emerging ALS research, and uniquely support families affected by Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Iron Phi

Iron Phi was developed as a way to strengthen both Phi Delta Theta and its impact on the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease. Through the fundraising efforts of participants on the way to achieving personal athletic goals, Iron Phi is creating a community of philanthropists who hope to Leave ALS Better Than They Found It. To become an Iron Phi, participants must select an athletic endeavor of their choice, raise $1,000 through the Iron Phi website, and accomplish the athletic endeavor itself. The name Iron Phi was given to the initiative to encourage those involved to remembers Lou's approach to life when setting out to achieve something.
