Spring 2015 Phi Delta Theta - Georgia Alpha Chapter
Securing a Bright Future: Since
the chapter’s re-‐founding in the
fall of 2012 we have
re-‐established ourselves within UGA
and the Greek Life community
and have been recognized by our
persistent efforts. We are currently
a 105 man chapter, 33 of
whom were initiated on 10/14/14
with 8 new initiates as of
this semester!
Ø We hosted the 2015 Phi Delta
Theta General Convention here at
Georgia Alpha. Ø This spring we
have had socials with ΑΧΩ, ΑΟΠ,
Theta, ΧΩ, ΓΦΒ, and Tri Delta with more to
come. We have had successful date
nights, enjoyed a spectacular spring
Formal in Nashville, and have a
Hawks date night and Spring
Party – featuring the Dirty
Guv’nahs – still to come.
Ø Several brothers attended the 2015
Founders Day event in at the
Capital City Club in Atlanta on
March 25. This Golden Legion
induction ceremony was one of
the most significant in recent
years.
Ø This semester Philanthropy at GA
Alpha has taken off, successfully
raising by far the most money
towards ALS since our refounding
in 2012.
o Philanthropy Chairman Grant Gosden set
up the Athens Iron Phi-‐ve K,
which raised thousands of dollars
for the ALS Foundation, as well
as a secondary philanthropy event
called “Pelt-‐a-‐Phi” scheduled for
April 14th.
Ø We are involved and successful
in intramural sports, including flag
football, softball and soccer.
Success, Involvement, and 100 Members!
Yours in the Bond, Sam Hepburn 2312

This February we had our Spring Formal at the Gaylord Opryland
Hotel in Nashville, TN. This is the premier resort in the city, and
this weekend is regarded among brothers to be one of the best since
refounding!
This Year at GA Alpha and Beyond
Our most successful Philanthropy event since 2012, the Iron
Phive K! All proceeds went to the ALS Foundation, of course.
Spring Community Service:
Cleaning up our beloved Athens

Brother Shurett has started a business called Athentic, which
specializes in Mediterranean food and craft hummus. Grayson is the
CEO of this rapidly growing operation, and has been having success
marketing and selling his product on campus and throughout Athens.

Recruitment Success As everyone in the fraternity knows,
recruitment is a huge deal and is essential to a chapter’s long
term establishment and success. This past summer 2014, we worked
tirelessly day and night to find well-balanced, quality guys that
would represent the chapter well. We initiated 33 new men (pictured
above) from different backgrounds who have become highly involved
and successful at the University of Georgia.
Alumni Recognition
GA Alpha recognizes the dedicated efforts of our chapter
advisory board and all alumni who have helped us re-found to be as
successful as we are today. Your selflessness, time, and
contributions do not go unnoticed. I hope that you get to see what
we have accomplished if you have not already done so because great
things are ahead for the GA Alpha Phi Delta Theta Chapter!

Looking Ahead Our goal is for alumni relations to be regular and
always-improving. In the fall we will continue to have the alumni
luncheon and in the spring to have a Founder’s Day event. If you
are at all interested in speaking to the chapter about your career,
how to be successful after graduation, or any area of interest,
please do not hesitate to contact me! We would love to meet more of
you guys and hear your stories. I’m hoping we can work together to
improve on scholarships, community service, philanthropy, social
life, and house management and renovation. Contact me with any
ideas, questions or concerns – we need your support!
Please inform the chapter if your
business email, address or phone
number changes to make sure our
records are updated and we do
not lose contact with you!
Proud to Be a Phi!
