Phi Kappa Theta

Phi Kappa Theta (ΦΚΘ)

Phi Kappa Theta – Phi Delta Chapter was originally chartered at the University of San Diego in 1977 and rechartered in 2009, continuing a legacy of values-based brotherhood and leadership on campus. Founded as the first Catholic fraternity, Phi Kappa Theta is now proudly open to men of all faiths and backgrounds, united by a shared commitment to purpose-driven leadership and service. At USD, the Phi Delta Chapter is dedicated to developing men into effective servant leaders who strive to serve society, fraternity, and God. Through a balanced experience of brotherhood, academic growth, social connection, and community engagement, Phi Kappa Theta challenges its members to live with integrity and lead with compassion.

Phi Kappa Theta belongs to the Interfraternity Council and participates in IFC recruitment during both the fall and spring semesters. Follow them on Instagram to stay connected.
