Phi Delta Theta Fraternity is excited to announce the installation of the Pennsylvania Sigma Chapter at Millersville University in Millersville, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Sigma was colonized on October 20, 2017. The colony worked diligently to recruit new members and build bonds within the Fraternity & Sorority community at Millersville University. Their successful petition to the General Council of Phi Delta Theta led to their initiation, chartering, and installation on the weekend of May 3-4, 2019.

On May 3, Pennsylvania Sigma Colony members gathered at a private location in order to be initiated into the Fraternity. Led by General Council Member-at-Large David Almacy, the ceremony was performed by Tyler Wilson (Colony Development Specialist), Alex Atkinson (Director of Expansion), Matthew Groff (Epsilon South Province President), Ryan Egan (CAB Chairman), and a host of alumni.

On May 4, the colony members, local alumni, University Fraternity and Sorority Life Administrators, GHQ representatives, friends, and family gathered on the campus of Millersville University for their installation ceremony. The ceremony was presided over by General Council Member-at-Large David Almacy and attendees heard from university staff, alumni, and undergraduate members of the chapter including Gasser Abousaif, chapter vice president and All Greek Council president, incoming chapter president Tyler Humphries (pictured below) and John Carrasquillo, (Bond #375, Pennsylvania Mu) who transferred from Widener University and first introduced the idea of establishing a chapter at Millersville.

Earlier that day on May 4, the new brothers of the Pennsylvania Sigma Chapter gathered for a ritual review with Tyler Wilson. At the gathering, ritual was reinforced, explained, and the colony was tasked with charting a path forward toward continued success.

The newly installed Pennsylvania Sigma Chapter of Phi Delta Theta wishes to extend gratitude to all those who helped in making this to campus a tremendous success. They wish to extend a special thank you to John Hearn (Director of Millersville CSIL), Kirsten Scheck (Coordinator for CSIL), the Greek councils, the brothers of Pennsylvania Mu at Widener University for attending the ceremonies, and the community at Millersville University. The brothers look forward to continuing their already tremendous success for years to come.

Congratulations to the Pennsylvania Sigma Chapter at Millersville University!
