Academics and Scholarships

At Phi Gamma Delta we value academic excellence above everything else. A saying we have within the fraternity is Scholarhip - Fraternity - Self. This means that we put academic work above all else, including any fraternity event or task. To this end we have various efforts in place within our chapter to ensure all members achieve the highest academics possible.

Academics

As stated above we take academics very seriously and have many measures in place to help members in their academic efforts. Per semester, we have an internal scholarship competition where members are placed into teams and at the end of the semester the team with the highest average G.P.A. will be awarded a gift card.

Besides this, we also have graduate brothers that come in and teach various workshops on test-taking strategies, note taking, and time management. Should a member not perform as highly as they should the pervious semester or if a member is underperforming in the current semester, they will be asked to attend Bradley held workshops and a follow up meeting with our Scholarship Committee.

Scholarships

Phi Gamma Delta offers various scholarships for members and non members rewarded for strong academic performance.

AAA Scholarship

The Foundation's Triple A is a $250 scholarship available to any newly initiated member of Phi Gamma Delta who earn a 3.2 GPA during their pledging semester. Beta Pi graduates graciously double this scholarship for a total of $500.

Jason R. Preston Scholarship

The Jason R. Preston Beta Pi Scholarship is given each year to the qualified undergraduate member of the Beta Pi Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta who best exemplifies the saying “Scholarship, Fraternity, Self.” This scholarship is a total of $1750 awarded once a year at Beta Pi's annual Frank Norris Pig Dinner.

Honorary Scholarship

Once a semester Beta Pi creates a scholarship for any Bradley student who exemplifies maintaining a high GPA while being actively involved in extracurriculars. This is a $250 scholarship.
