Phi Gamma Delta is an international fraternity, founded on May 1, 1848. The Gamma Deuteron chapter at [[Knox College]] was founded on April 5th, 1867. A common nickname for the fraternity is FIJI, but it is also referred to as Phigam. FIJI's are unique among Knox [[fraternities]] in that they don't entertain any specific stereotype. Brothers are involved in many different organizations, ranging from varsity participation on the [[football]], [[swim]], [[basketball]], [[golf]], [[track]], and [[baseball]] teams; [[intramurals]]; [[choir]]; [[Knox Republicans]] and [[Knox Democrats]]; [[SASS]]; [[Chemistry Club]]; Ed. Studies Club; [[Concert Band]]; [[Classics Club]]; [[Student Senate]]; [[Common Ground]]; and various theater productions.
  
Brothers in the Gamma Deuteron chapter of Phi Gamma Delta come from very diverse walks of life, and their interests encompass nearly every imaginable activity at Knox. This is more than evident from the FIJIs' involvement in every varsity sport, theatre, dance, music, Union Board, The Knox Student -- the list goes on and on.

Notable Phi Gamma Deltas include: Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States 1923-1929; Johnny Carson, former host of The Tonight Show; John Ritter, actor; Phillip Knight, founder, owner, and president of the Nike Corporation.
 
 
 
In honor of their organization, Phi Gamma Delta's Greek letters are not displayed anywhere except the front of the chapter house, the fraternity's flag, member badges, and class rings. This unique aspect of Phi Gamma Delta sets it apart from other organizations on campus.
 
 
 
Phi Gamma Delta is based on the idea that no matter what else exists between brothers, respect for one another should be its cornerstone.
 
 
 
The Gamma Deuteron Chapter at Knox College will also be having many more social events the coming two terms, so look out Knox College!
