Shawnee State University
has new fraternity

February 28, 2013

On Thursday, Feb. 21, 26 members of Shawnee State University's newest fraternity, Phi Mu Delta, celebrated a colonization ceremony that puts the fraternity on a probation period of about 15 months before reaching national recognition.

Phi Mu Delta was nationally founded in 1918 as the first national fraternity to accept men regardless of their race or religious affiliation.

Phi Mu Delta's mission is to provide a positive fraternity experience for today's college man, encourage high personal standards, morally, mentally, and spiritually, as well as to help its members live up to their three core values: Democracy, Brotherhood, and Service.
