Phi Gamma delta (FIJI) is dedicated to
developing men of character within the
academic setting, with the aim that they
will become fully contributing members
of society. In pursuit of this mission,
the Fraternity promotes five core values:
Friendship, Knowledge, Service, Morality
and Excellence. FIJI is a thriving force
in the Greek Community here at Virginia
Tech. We realize that our primary reason
for coming to college is to receive a
quality education. Founded on the principles of “Scholarship, Fraternity, Self”, we have
consistently been ranked #1 in grades out of over 30 fraternities. For the past six years
we have put on our annual “FIJI Run Across Virginia” philanthropy which is one of Virginia
Tech’s highest grossing philanthropies by any one student organization. This past
year we raised over $33,000 and in six years we have broken the $200,000 total mark.
Our motto, “Friendship, the sweetest influence,” shows that through the close bond of
our brotherhood, we can accomplish anything. Also, FIJI is always active in the areas of
intramural sports, leadership opportunities, career development and networking outlets.
Although we do focus a large part of our attention on our scholarship, our philanthropy,
our service, and our quality, we still provide a vibrant social scene. We enjoy gathering
together as a brotherhood and providing social functions with our own brothers, our
friends, and Virginia Tech’s finest sororities. In all, we, the brotherhood of Phi Gamma
delta, strive for excellence in every aspect of our lives here at Virginia Tech.
