We hope you find our archives interesting and vibrant, a refreshing change from dusty file cabinets.

HELP! There are important gaps in our photo collection. Please help by submitting missing items or better-quality images. If we posted an image in black-and-white and you have it in color or sharper, please send us the better version. We want JPG files, 300+ dpi, high resolution, color preferred.

For the Chapter gallery, send in one whole-chapter group image (or composite) per Chapter per academic year. Ask your alumni Brothers to help contribute old photos.

Send in other iconic, emblematic photos for our consideration. We’ll post the best of them.

We are also looking for an early copy of the Pledge Manual (name changed to the Education Manual by the Grand Council in 2017), printed in the 1950s. Ask your alumni!

E-mail the images to history@phideltachi.org. For large files or groups of files, contact the National Office (office@phideltachi.org) to arrange for a webpage for uploading.
