Phi Mu Delta's Mu Alpha Chapter at Susquehanna University Empowers Student Voices Through Voter Registration Drive

In a powerful display of their commitment to democratic participation and civic engagement, the Mu Alpha Chapter of Phi Mu Delta Fraternity at Susquehanna University recently hosted a successful voter registration drive. On March 27th, 2024, the fraternity brothers set up an interactive booth in the university's dining hall, providing physical voter registration forms and QR codes for the Rock the Vote initiative.

"We interacted with about 25 individuals on our campus, giving them physical forms or assisting them in filling out online registrations," said Nathan McCue, Vice President of Membership Development for the Mu Alpha Chapter. "While many students were already registered voters, we had the opportunity to engage with numerous individuals and encourage their democratic involvement."

The voter registration effort garnered praise from multiple professors, who commended the fraternity for its important civic work. This initiative serves as a powerful embodiment of Phi Mu Delta's founding principles of democracy, brotherhood, and service to others.

Established during the tumultuous era of World War I and the Spanish Flu pandemic, Phi Mu Delta Fraternity was created as an alternative to the exclusive and discriminatory fraternity culture of the time. The fraternity's origins lie in the Federation of Commons Clubs, which championed inclusivity and rejected snobbery, laying the foundation for Phi Mu Delta's enduring commitment to equality and civic participation.

​By actively encouraging student engagement in the electoral system, the Mu Alpha Chapter upholds Phi Mu Delta's vision of cultivating lifelong civic engagement and fostering a culture of fellowship among its members. The fraternity remains dedicated to shaping well-rounded individuals who positively impact their communities through service and advocacy.
