According to their website, the Iron Phi program is described as: "...a way to strengthen both Phi Delta Theta and its impact on the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease. Through the fundraising efforts of participants on the way to achieving personal athletic goals, Iron Phi is creating a community of philanthropists who hope to Leave ALS Better Than They Found It.
To become an Iron Phi, participants must select an athletic endeavor of their choice, raise $1,000 through the Iron Phi website, and accomplish the athletic endeavor itself."
Anyone is able to take on the Iron Phi Challenge: undergraduates, alumni, friends of the chapter or just ALS advocates! You can find out more at the link here (http://support.ironphi.org/site/PageServer).
Feel free to follow us on our Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/acphidelt/) to see brothers on their journeys as we aim to raise $10,000 collectively for ALS research, solidifying PA Delta as an "Iron Phi Chapter"!
