The brothers in the Alpha Upsilon chapter of Phi Gamma Delta believe that having a strong social life is very important in college student’s life. It builds valuable friendships and experiences that will be cherished forever. Our chapter has a vast amount of social opportunities throughout the year including swaps and socials with other sororities, date parties, band parties (every weekend of home football games) and our annual events. Our annual events include Christmas Casino, Phi Gam Lounge, Black Diamond Formal, Norris Pig Dinner and the tremendously popular FIJI Island.

CHRISTMAS CASINO
Near the end of the fall semester we hold our annual Christmas Casino! For this semi-formal event, brothers bring dates to our decorated house to enjoy a night of professional run casino games such as poker, blackjack and roulette. We also book an acoustic/piano act to play music while everyone shares a dance with their special someone! Tim Tyler has been a favorite at the FIJI house over the past years. At the end of the night, everyone checks their raffle tickets as we raffle off DVD sets, Gift Cards, Flat Screen TV’s and other prize packages. Every year, Christmas Casino ensures for a fun and memorable night.

PHI GAM LOUNGE
This event is held every Spring and is a time for brothers and dates to relax and enjoy hanging out with everyone. This casual event lets brother’s come up to the house (with or without dates) and listen to a live band and play pool and darts. It’s a great break from the strenuous spring load of classes and everyone enjoys it.

BLACK DIAMOND FORMAL
Our Formal is one of our most anticipated events for the brothers of Phi Gamma Delta. Every Spring, the chapter picks a location to spend a weekend with their dates. The past year, the chapter went to New Orleans and stayed in a beautiful, traditional hotel a few minutes from Bourbon Street. Everyone had a great time on Bourbon Street, stopping in at different places to hear the great sounds of New Orleans. The next night, we rented out a room on Bourbon Street and had a private party for the brothers and their dates along with catered food and a jazz band. The weekend was definitely a favorite for every brother who went. Our chapter enjoyed New Orleans so much, that we are heading back there this Spring. The Black Diamond Formal is an event that every brother will never forget!

NORRIS PIG DINNER
The Norris Pig Dinner is held right before FIJI Island. It is a formal dinner where every Alpha Upsilon alumni is welcome to come and see their old friends and meet the current members of the chapter. Last year, Alumni presented a slideshow of old pictures and told funny stories of their time here at FIJI. The current brothers truly appreciated and enjoyed the great Alumni who showed up to spend their time getting to know the current brothers!

FIJI ISLAND
FIJI Island is without a doubt one of the biggest events on Auburn’s campus. Near the end of the Spring Semester, brothers start preparing for FIJI Island by completely changing our courtyard. Tons of lumber and bamboo is brought in to help transform our courtyard into an island paradise! The four night event starts on Wednesday and ends Saturday night. The brothers decorate coconuts and give them to their date as invitations. The brothers and their dates then head to the FIJI house for the next four nights to enjoy bands and dancing. This event is very popular with sororities and every girls loves receiving her coconut invitation!
