 Phi Mu Delta Fraternity is thrilled to unveil its latest venture, the launch of an all-new online merchandise store, shopphimudelta.com. This exciting development promises to revolutionize how members access Phi Mu Delta-branded products and provide them with a vast selection at competitive prices.
Through shopphimudelta.com, members will have access to an extensive range of merchandise from over 50 reputable vendors. This online storefront has been made possible through a strategic partnership with Affinity Licensing, a leading trademark management and protection firm. By leveraging Affinity Licensing's expertise, Phi Mu Delta ensures its members receive only the highest quality products while safeguarding the fraternity's cherished trademarks. One of the most significant benefits of shopping at the newly launched store is that the royalties generated from officially licensed products directly support Phi Mu Delta's various initiatives. These funds will contribute to essential services for chapters, alumni events, and fraternity-sponsored programs. This represents a fantastic opportunity for members to obtain top-notch merchandise and contribute directly to Phi Mu Delta's growth and success. Phi Mu Delta expresses heartfelt gratitude to Laura Ringer, Vice President of Employer & Customer Success at Affinity Licensing. Laura's unwavering dedication and tireless efforts have played a pivotal role in spearheading this project on behalf of the fraternity. The newly launched shopphimudelta.com encompasses a vast array of products that members have specifically requested. These include highly coveted items such as graduation stoles/cords, as well as name-brand products from the likes of Nike, Carhartt, North Face, and many more. The store also offers an exciting range of merchandise showcasing member pride. Phi Mu Delta encourages all members to visit shopphimudelta.com and explore the wide selection of products available.

The Mu Xi Chapter of Phi Mu Delta, founded on April 25, 2003, at Pennsylvania College of Technology, has undertaken a service project to clean up the streets of Williamsport. The chapter's dedicated members are worked tirelessly to ensure that the community's living and commercial areas, particularly Vine Ave, are restored to their former glory. Phi Mu Delta is driven by a deeply ingrained mission to provide a positive fraternity experience for today's college man, emphasizing high personal standards in all aspects of life - morally, mentally, and spiritually. Alongside this, the organization strives to help its members live the fundamental ideals of its founders: democracy, brotherhood, and service. Through the ongoing service project, the Mu Xi Chapter aims to exhibit these principles and promote a culture of civic engagement and fellowship among its members. "We believe that Service to the community is critical. Every small act of kindness grows into a lasting impact, Making our community a better place for everyone" said Maxwell Gudeman, Vice President of Membership of the Mu Xi Chapter. "By joining forces with our fellow brothers and participating in this clean-up initiative, We can utilize their diverse skills and shared efforts to not only create stronger bonds but also to bring positive changes to the community, making it a better place for all." The January 13, 2024, clean-up project focused primarily on Vine Ave, a vibrant street that comprises homes, small businesses, and the esteemed Pennsylvania College of Technology. With its vision of redefining fraternity and promoting lifelong civic engagement and fellowship culture, Phi Mu Delta aims to impact the local community positively, inspiring the next generation of industry leaders. Pennsylvania College of Technology, with its mission to inspire and prepare Tomorrow Makers, thrives on fostering real-world experience and an innovative spirit among its students.

By delving into the intersection between their academic pursuits and their extracurricular leadership roles, participants will refine their transferable skills sought by employers. The PhiGROW program, adapted from the renowned research project at the University of Iowa, promises to be a high-impact educational intervention featuring guided reflections and a comprehensive survey.
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), college students should highlight essential skills they have gained from their various experiences on their resumes to attract the attention of potential employers. NACE's Job Outlook 2023 survey shows that more than 60% of employers seek evidence of a candidate's problem-solving abilities and teamwork skills. "The key then is for students to not only develop these competencies, but also to be able to articulate how they use them in their classwork, experiential education, student organization activities, and more," says Shawn VanDerziel, NACE executive director. Phi Mu Delta understands the importance of providing a fraternity experience that instills high personal standards, both morally and intellectually. By implementing the PhiGROW program, the fraternity aims to equip its members with a unique opportunity to cultivate leadership, foster personal growth, and excel in their chosen future career paths. Joe Thompson, National President of Phi Mu Delta, expressed his excitement about the new initiative, stating, "We are thrilled to offer the PhiGROW program to our chapter leaders. We want Phi Mu Delta to foster an environment where dreams flourish and ambitions turn into tangible successes.This innovative program will help them embrace the special synergy between their classroom learning and their leadership involvement, thereby enhancing their professional development." The PhiGROW program will be available to all Phi Mu Delta members who hold leadership positions within their respective chapters. Through two carefully guided reflections and a concise survey, participants will explore the valuable transferable skills they acquire through their fraternity experiences. "This program aims to redefine fraternity by cultivating a culture of lifelong civic engagement and fellowship," said Sam Waltemeyer, Executive Director of Phi Mu Delta. "Our mission goes beyond the traditional notions of brotherhood. We want to empower our members to not only excel academically but also become active contributors and leaders of society.” The PhiGROW program is an excellent initiative that aligns with Phi Mu Delta's commitment to fostering personal growth, noble ideals, and a sense of service. It serves as a testament to the fraternity's dedication to providing a dynamic and holistic experience for its members. All Phi Mu Delta chapter leaders are encouraged to participate in this groundbreaking program, seizing the opportunity to refine their leadership skills, gain insights into their personal growth, and explore the diverse facets of their fraternal involvement. |
