Alcohol-Free Housing Policy
Phi Gamma Delta’s Alcohol-Free Housing (AFH) Policy states that all chapter house facilities and chapter properties must be alcohol-free. This means NO alcohol shall be present, possessed, brought onto, or consumed in or on any portion or room of any chapter house facility or chapter property.
However, chapters meeting the requirements of Fraternity Bylaw 19.300 may acquire an annual exemption from our AFH Policy. If you have questions about AFH exemption, please contact the Director of Accountability.
Alcohol-Free Housing Exemption
Approximately 18-22% of Phi Gamma Delta’s chapters are annually granted an exemption from the AFH requirement. Chapters applying for the exemption must meet standards for educational programming, academic achievement, risk reduction and chapter operations. Exemptions are granted on an annual basis, with an effective term of August 1 – July 31. A committee of two graduate brothers and three undergraduate brothers conducts the exemption granting process.
