Annually, Bobcats help organize Homecoming and Evening of Excellence as well as other community service projects that aim to better the University of Arizona.

“Eternal Vigilance”

Creed:

An open, frank, sincere and unbiased group that knows no party lines, harbors no petty jealousies and idolizes the person who has the welfare of the University of Arizona at heart.

Founded for the purpose of preserving the unity and welfare of the University of Arizona by always being alert to guide it in the right direction.

A Bobcat’s first loyalty is to the University of Arizona, therefore “Eternal Vigilance” is their motto.

• We in Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity are proud of our members who were named to Bobcats Honorary either as undergraduates or as a graduate brother listed by Induction Year.
