Phi Delta Theta - University of Nevada Reno - Reno, NV - Fraternity and Sorority Houses on Waymarking.com

On the side streets of the University, a local club known as Phi Delta Alpha sought after recognition to become a full fledge fraternity. Seeking colonization, the chapter turned to the international chapter of Phi Delta Theta. In 1972, the California Alpha chapter, University of California, Berkley, came to induct the Reno chapter into the fraternity. The local colony known as Phi Delta Alpha was thus installed as the Nevada Alpha chapter of Phi Delta Theta officially on April 22, 1972.

Since its induction to Phi Delta Theta, the Nevada Alpha chapter has initiated over 370 men into the brotherhood of Phi Delta Theta. In 1982, the expanding size of the chapter forced us to move from our chapter house on University St. (which is now occupied by TKE) to our current residence at 735 West Street.

Then, in 1997, Nevada Alpha was one of the first chapters of Phi Delta Theta to go dry. In May of 2000, Phi Delta Theta became the first fraternity to go dry internationally.

Ever since their initialization, the chapter has won awards both by Phi Delta Theta's headquarters and the University's Interfarternal Council. These awards repertoire include Chapter of the Year, recruitment awards, risk management awards, and other notable awards.

Phi Delta Theta History

As the Christmas holidays approached in 1848, the atmosphere on the Miami campus in Oxford, Ohio was gloomy and uncertain. This was the mood in which Robert Morrison suggested to a close friend and classmate, John McMillan Wilson, that they consider putting together a new collegiate brotherhood.

From this elemental beginning, Phi Delta Theta evolved into the positive international force for good it has become over the past 159 years.
