Becoming a Member

One of the most important and exciting
ongoing events at the Zeta chapter is recruitment, or rush. Phi Gamma Delta has a rich history and tradition on campus and we
are continuously building our future.
The future of our fraternity is determined by the quality of men we recruit
each year. The success of our fraternity on campus is a by-product of the level of excellence we uphold in our chapter
and brothers. We at Phi Gamma Delta take great pride and put forth a tireless effort to initiate the best brothers at
Indiana University.
Our recruitment process consists of four main steps rush, bidding, pledging, and
initiation. Our rush is mostly for standout high school seniors who take a weekend to visit our house and the
Bloomington campus. We take the rushees room to room in our house and around campus to show all aspects of college life that
we are involved in. We explain what our chapter means to us and its importance.
If some of the high school seniors are unavailable to attend a rush weekend, or if they are currently IU students, we have other rush events available as well. At the end of the rush period, our brothers assemble to select potential brothers we believe would best represent the values and attitude of our fraternity. We will issue bids to these men. Once the potential members receive the bid and they accept, they will begin pledgeship. Our pledging process lasts a few months and after successfully completing this process, they will be initiated as brothers and welcomed into our fraternity.
We require three items for all our potential brothers Rush Profile Form, a personal photo, and your high school transcript. We have the Rush Profile Form for you to fill out and submit electronically, as well as a place to upload your photo. Please send your high school transcript to:
