Phi Delt is One of Just a Few Fraternities to Own a House

If you pledge Phi Delt, you can be sure you’ll always have a fraternity house to call home. That’s because Phi Delt made the choice to buy a massive property right across from UCF’s campus where we and our alumni have complete control and privacy.
Our fraternity house has a huge, private back yard with a great view of a lake out back. There’s plenty of space for barbecues, big events and tailgates before UCF home games. Plus, a UCF shuttle stops right in front of our house, so getting on campus for game day and class is actually easier for us than fighting for a parking spot.
After nearly 30 years at UCF, we actually made the choice to buy a house off campus, rather than renting one on the recently vacated houses on campus. Because of that choice, we’re saving hundreds of thousands of dollars each year we would have had to pay UCF in fees to apply to rent one of the empty houses on campus.
Once Phi Delt took the first step to buy a house off campus, other fraternities are now following in our footsteps rather than trying to get a place on campus. That’s because everyone saw our fraternity grow bigger and stronger than ever after we bought our house off campus. We saved so much money, we were able to pay for the best socials and parties with the hottest sororities on campus. Our dues stayed low and we got money for scholarships, so we kept recruiting the best guys at UCF. Our great IM sports teams improved even more — and we’ve been ranked #1 in Greek Sports for more than a year.
Plus, because we own the house and UCF doesn’t, we get to maintain our privacy and control, and don’t have to spend money to pay for an RA to live in one of our rooms.
UCF’s sororities love coming over for pig roasts and just to hang out after spending a night out at all the bars around campus. Owning our house adds so much to the fraternity experience, we couldn’t imagine going through college without it.
