COMMUNITY SERVICE WEEK

The Inns of Phi Delta Phi sponsor an annual Community Service Week during which time members engage in activities beneficial to the community in which they are located.

BALFOUR SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS

Thanks to a series of continuing grants from the Lloyd G. Balfour Foundation, the Phi Delta Phi Legal Institute has distributed over $400,000 in scholarship service awards. Interest income from the Balfour scholarship grants will provide twelve $3,000 grants this academic year.

INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM

Phi Delta Phi has established the INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM which awards a yearly scholarship to help fund study at selected law schools in the United States and Latin America. 

BIENNIAL CONVENTIONS AND CONCLAVES

The Constitution provides for a General Convention to be held biennially and authorizes certain expenses to be paid for one official delegate from each active Student Inn. The 2007 Convention will be held in Fort Lauderdale, FL in August.

INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE AND INN OF THE YEAR AWARDS

Phi Delta Phi sponsors annual International Graduate of the Year and Inn of the Year competitions. The International Graduate of the Years are invited, at Fraternity expense, to attend the next Biennial Convention following their selection and the outstanding Inn receives a monetary award.
