On a cool spring night in 1848, six men came together at the Jefferson College in Canonsburg, PA to form the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta. These six men long enjoyed a friendship that would eventually lead to a Brotherhood. The year of 1848, thus began the great tradition and the form of excellence that Phi Gamma Delta pursues. This tradition and excellence is also bestowed upon its members.

The Fraternity began to spread its wings later that year, establishing a chapter at Washington College. Since then, FIJI has opened its hearts to esteemed College and University campuses across the United States and Canada. Currently the Phi Gamma Delta has chapters at 155 college and university campuses. The total membership is approximately 5,500 Undergraduate Brothers and over 90,000 Graduate Brothers worldwide. International Headquarters is now located in Lexington, Kentucky.

Phi Gamma Delta first stepped onto campus at the University of Evansville in 1997. Headquarters established the Delta Colony of Phi Gamma Delta at the University of Evansville on September 1, 1997. This date began our history and set the quest in motion for the newly founded Delta Colony. The spring saw the first class (alpha) initiated into the Colony on February 1, 1998. Through hard work and determination the Delta Colony was approved to pursue its charter on January 22, 2000. After completion of all the requirements in the probationary period, the Epsilon Iota Chapter was established on April 15, 2000.

Since the initiation of the Alpha class, the Chapter has initiated a pledge class every semester of school. Our Chapter is currently represented by 28 active Brothers and a growing pledge class.

The University of Evansville is located in Evansville, IN. Approximately 2,200 undergraduate students are enrolled in the University. Currently 6 Fraternities and 5 Sororities (1 Local) hold Chapters at UE. The male-female ratio is 40% male and 60% female, and 25% of the student body is socially Greek affiliated.
