PHI DELTA CHI: A TRADITION OF LEADERS IN PHARMACY

The History of Phi Delta Chi is now available in a 577-page volume!

This book is three stories in one:

First, it is the amazing story of how 11 pharmacy students and their dean created an organization that now numbers more than 43,000 pharmacists and students (and keeps growing).

Second, this book portrays college life for fraternity men, and eventually women, for 112 years!

Third, this book depicts images and opinions of pharmacy and society held by pharmacists and the public from the late 19th century to the present day. The story of Phi Delta Chi and the profession of pharmacy is divided into seven sections:

• Part I: The Founding of America’s First Pharmacy Fraternity

• Give you a more complete understanding of the details of our origin; the struggles we have faced as we have grown and matured over the years, and the place your own Chapter holds in the “big picture.”
