Your academic education is the most important reason for attending college. Sound Learning, is one of the core principals on which our fraternity was founded and at Phi Delta Theta we take pride in academic excellence. Our scholarship program is designed to improve study skills reward success, and give our members an academic edge. Our Library Study Area is one of the best on campus, filled with an extensive collection of test files and useful reference materials that cover a wide range of topics. Phi Delta Theta rewards academic success through eight member-only scholarships.

Prior to initiation, prospective members must demonstrate that scholarship is their top priority.  We require daily study hall for all prospective members that did not receive a 3.0 GPA in the previous semester in order to enable them to improve their grades and better understand the value gained from proper preparation.  Attendance in all classes is manditory for prospective members. Westminster College maintains a 16:1 student ratio, not taking benefit of such great access to instructors is one of the main reasons students are forced to leave Westminster. Prospective members are required to earn a 2.5 GPA in order to be initiated. Active members of Phi Delta Theta are required to maintain a 2.5 GPA in order to remain members in good standing.

In fall of 2006 our pledge class took second place in academic rankings among Westminster Fraternities with an average GPA of 3.097, which was higher than the entire freshman average and only 0.095 points lower than the first place Fraternity pledge class. During that same time period our active members earned a 2.921 average GPA, ranking fourth among Westminster Fraternities.
