Phi Mu Delta Fraternity is pleased to announce the approval of four new members to its National Council during the 61st Conclave held in Providence, Rhode Island. The slate, presented by the Nomination Committee, was unanimously passed, bringing fresh perspectives and diverse experiences to the fraternity's leadership.

The incoming members of the National Council are:
  • Thomas Stephen (Nu Beta Chapter, University of New Hampshire)
  • Michael Doran (Mu Alpha Chapter, Susquehanna University)
  • Spencer McBreairty (Nu Xi Chapter, University of Southern Maine)
  • Alexander Fries (Nu Beta Chapter, University of New Hampshire)

The Nomination Committee, consisting of Teague Emery (Mu Alpha '13), Jacob Dubois (Nu Gamma '16), Paul Kittle (Mu Pi '91), and Will Foran (Nu Theta '01), employed a rigorous selection process. 

Teague Emery, Nominating Chair, emphasized the committee's thorough approach, "We considered each candidate’s experience, motivation, and transferable skills while balancing the immediate needs of the National Council. There was no requirement to have historical fraternity volunteer experience as we sought candidates with a diverse set of experiences."  The committee developed a framework to evaluate candidates, calling it the Phi Mu Delta Leadership Behaviors:
  1. Put Phi Mu Delta Thinking First
  2. Seek and Provide Coaching and Feedback
  3. Make Collaboration Essential
  4. Communicate Frequently, Candidly, and Clearly.


The new council members bring a wealth of experience from various fields:
Thomas Stephen, a Certified Financial Planner, brings his expertise in finance and his experience as a chapter advisor to the council. He expressed his enthusiasm for mentoring young members and creating sustainable practices for the fraternity.

Michael Doran, with a background in data science and higher education, aims to focus on chapter membership growth and organizational expansion. He stated, "My passion within my career and within the organization has always been the growth of our chapter membership and growth of our organization on the whole."

Spencer McBreairty, working in Student Affairs, offers insights into current trends in higher education and student development. He emphasized the impact Phi Mu Delta had on his college experience and his desire to give back to the organization.

Alexander Fries, with his experience in public affairs and communications, seeks to be a strategic partner in articulating the benefits of the Phi Mu Delta community. He aims "to facilitate sustainable growth across Phi Mu Delta in support of the alumni and undergraduate experience."

The selection of these new council members reflects Phi Mu Delta's commitment to evolving with the needs of its members while staying true to its core values. The fraternity looks forward to the fresh perspectives and innovative ideas these new leaders will bring to the National Council.
