Q:  How can I learn more about Phi Delta Theta's Alcohol-Free Housing initiative?
A:  Some critics thought it was going to be a long and arduous task for Phi Delta Theta to implement alcohol-free housing.  Others believed that membership would decline.  However, the leadership of Phi Delta Theta knew it would be in the best interest for our undergraduate members and for the future of the Fraternity to refocus our efforts to be a values-based organization. Therefore, in February of 1997, the General Council announced the Alcohol-free Housing Policy to the world.  Chapters were given more than three years to implement this paradigm shift on their campus and all properties were alcohol-free by the implementation date of July 1, 2000.
In support of this initiative, the Foundation made educational grants in excess of $1 million to the General Fraternity and undergraduate chapters.
