"Albert B. Prescott Pharmacy Leadership Award presented in conjunction with Phi Lambda Sigma... given annually to a young pharmacist [who]... demonstrated exemplary leadership qualities as a pharmacist indicative of someone likely to emerge as a major leader in pharmacy over the course of his or her career."
The Albert Benjamin Prescott Scholarship Cup is named after our first Chapter Advisor, Dean Prescott of the University of Michigan. He was an innovator in pharmacy education who took our profession from apprentice-based training to the didactic curriculum approach we know today.
VALUES
To develop leaders to advance the profession of pharmacy.
Phi Delta Chi, a life-long experience, promotes scholastic, professional, and social growth in it's Brothers.
"QUALITY"
Phi Delta Chi adopted St. Jude's Children Research Hospital in 1995
Fun fact:
Phi Delta Chi pledged to raise $200,000 over 4 years in 2007, but we surpassed the goal within 2 years! Upon the completion of the commitment, St. Jude's Children Research Hospital's outpatiet pharmacy located on the 1st floor of Patient Care Center was named in recognition of Phi Delta Chi.
In 2010, Phi Delta Chi pledged to raise $1M by 2020!
We met that goal again in 2017 and pledged to raise another $1M by 2024!
Help us reach our goal!...
Our foundation is the Pharmacy Leadership and Education Institute (PLEI)

Our Brotherhood has a rich history. Besides National and Regional meetings that reunite Brothers to exchange ideas and traditions, we have one thing that binds us all, our Ritual. This sacred experience is closely guarded by our Brothers. You will learn more about the Ritual and its meaning upon your initiation to our Brotherhood!

Thru-out the land, across the sea,
no matter where you be
You'll find us there, with no despair,
a-pushin' pharmacy!
Who's this crew who loves their brew
and never will say die?
They're a hell of a bunch of guys - the Phi Delta Chi's!
Hail to Phi Dex, Hail to Pharmacy!
Hail to Phi Dex, our Fraternity!
Sixty thousand years from now
when we are dead and gone
There'll be no disease, no pharmacies,
but who says this is wrong?
So, we lift our mugs and drink to drugs
and never will say die
And we will never once forget we're Phi Delta Chi!
Hey! We're Phi Delta Chi.
Hey! We're Phi Delta Chi. Hey!
