Phi Mu Delta Raises Over $5,000 for Scholarships and Educational Initiatives at 61st Conclave

 The Phi Mu Delta Educational Foundation is thrilled to announce that its T-shirt and memorabilia auction, held during the 61st Conclave in Providence, RI, raised an impressive sum of over $5,000 for scholarships and educational initiatives.

This lively event, which has become a beloved tradition, saw enthusiastic participation from both alumni and undergraduates. The auction, described as a "wild and raucous event," featured a diverse array of items, from chapter T-shirts to unique fraternity memorabilia.

Dustyn Hall, serving as this year's auctioneer with assistance from Shawn Stabile, kept the energy high as bidders vied for coveted items. Among the most popular were homemade wooden coasters crafted by Mu Beta's Ty Weir, featuring the fraternity's crest and letters. Special items that drew significant interest included a Triangle from the mid-1920s and a special edition badge from Phi Mu Delta's Centennial celebration.

Dr. Paul Kittle Jr., Eric Etkin, and John Turns, Directors of the Educational Foundation board, were present to witness the outpouring of support.  The Phi Mu Delta Educational Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, works collaboratively with the Fraternity to provide scholarships, educational programs, and leadership development opportunities. This auction's success will directly impact these efforts, helping to redefine fraternity for the next generation of men.

The event was particularly significant for many undergraduates, marking their first time donating to the Educational Foundation. These new donors were welcomed into the 1918 Society, a giving society specifically for undergraduates, and received special pins to showcase their commitment.
