EXPECTATIONS OF PERSONAL AND BROTHERLY BEHAVIOR

BASIC EXPECTATIONS OF BROTHERS:

To lessen any disparity between fraternity ideals and individual behavior, and to personalize these ideals in our daily lives, Phi Delta Chi abides by the following Basic Expectations:

1. I will know and understand the ideals expressed in our Fraternity Ritual and will strive to incorporate them in my daily life.
   
   
2. I will strive for academic achievement and practice academic integrity.
   
   
3. I will respect the dignity of all persons; therefore, I will not physically, mentally, psychologically, or sexually abuse or haze any human being.
   
   
4. I will protect the health and safety of all human beings.
   
   
5. I will respect my property and the property of others; therefore, I will neither abuse nor tolerate the abuse of property.
   
   
6. I will meet my financial obligations in a timely manner.
   
   
7. I will neither use nor support the use of illegal drugs; I will neither abuse nor support the abuse of alcohol.
   
   
8. I acknowledge that a clean and attractive environment is essential to both physical and mental health; therefore, I will do all in my power to see that chapter property is properly cleaned and maintained.
   
   
9. I will challenge all my fraternity Brothers to abide by these expectations and will confront those who violate them.

Read these expectations at a Chapter meeting. Post them on your bulletin board. Use them as a topic for a Chapter retreat. Pledge your personal adoption of these expectations.
