Phi Gamma Delta
Eternal Bond — Códice Avalónico
Padre Fundador del Capítulo en Drake University
Founded as a brotherhood, Phi Gamma Delta was never meant to live only in bricks, chairs and rented halls. A chapter may rise and close in the record books of a university, but the true chapter lives in the hearts of men who once stood together under the same star.
For a Founding Father, that star never truly sets. It is carried forward —in memory, in choices, in the way he treats others— long after the formal doors have closed. The crest, the colors, the words spoken in trust: all become part of an inner covenant that cannot be disbanded by administrative decisions.
Phi Gamma Delta, still to thee
our hearts will turn eternally.
For though the halls may fall to dust,
the brotherhood endures in us.
For he who once has borne the star shall carry it, though scattered far; and in the quiet strength of men, the bond ignites its flame again.
Founders rise where chapters fade; the spirit lives in those it made. And though the doors of Drake have closed, the brother’s oath in you still glows.

Founders rise where chapters fade; the spirit lives in those it made. And though the doors of Drake have closed, the brother’s oath in you still glows.
Phi Gamma Delta — not for college days alone, but for all the days of life.
