More About the Fijis
Mission:
Phi Gamma Delta exists to promote lifelong friendships, to reaffirm high ethical standards and values, and to foster personal development in the pursuit of excellence. Phi Gamma Delta is committed to provide opportunities for each brother to develop responsibility, leadership, scholarship, and social skills in order to become a fully contributing member of society.
Chapter Facts:
The Nu Sigma Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta has experienced great success in its young existence on NC State’s campus. Since the chapter received its charter in 2002, Nu Sigma has grown in numbers and impact. The chapter has won the fraternity of the year award twice. Most recently the chapter won the Caldwell Cup, the award given to the best Interfraternity Council (IFC) chapter, in the fall of 2013. The chapter also received the honor of being named Intramural Champions during the 2012-2013 academic year.
Nu Sigma is experiencing some of its best results in terms of brotherhood, recruitment, and chapter activities. The chapter has reached 45 members and is looking to continue sustainable growth. The chapter moved into its new home on Greek Court in the spring of 2014 and is excited to be more engrained in the Greek community of NC State.
Nu Sigma is looking forward to continuing its successes. The chapter has a cumulative GPA of 3.00, and is proud of its no hazing and risk management policies. The chapter is very honored to be apart of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta, and is intent on bringing excellence to both NC State and the community.
Durham Crisis Response And Resource Center
For more than 31 years, Durham Crisis Response Center (DCRC) has been the sole provider of comprehensive shelter and support services in the Durham area, providing counseling, legal advocacy, support groups, and shelter to survivors and their families in the aftermath of domestic and sexual violence. DCRC also offers prevention workshops and training to faith-based organizations, schools, professionals and the general public throughout the Triangle. In its history, DCRC has helped more than 20,000 women and children. Last year alone, 237 women and children founds safety at the Durham Crisis Response shelter, and another 3,800 learned through our crisis line that they have an ally who can help them end the cycle of violence.
