Alcohol-Free Housing (AFH)
Phi Gamma Delta chapter house facilities and chapter properties not possessing an exemption must be alcohol-free. 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 Alcohol-Free Housing Policy. If you have questions about Exemption, please contact the Director of Accountability.

About 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.
