Purpose

The CAB’s main purpose is to enhance the experience of every undergraduate and alumni of Phi Delta Theta. There are three main methods through which the CAB achieves these goals; providing leadership and guidance to the undergraduate chapter, reuniting the alumni of Texas Nu, and providing responsible financial support to the active chapter.

The CAB will always work to support the chapter and ensure the undergraduate experience is to the fullest while maintaining a safe and responsible environment for the actives to grow into young men and leaders. This is done through phone calls and in person meetings where active executive board and the CAB sit down and discuss the problems facing the chapter and how to resolve them.

As alumni it is hard to find the time to reconnect with our fraternity brothers and often we lose touch with one another. The CAB’s mission is to reunite those lost connections and revitalize the alumni chapter. Often times we forget that Phi Delta Theta does not end at graduation, rather it continues through out our lives. The CAB helps promote alumni participation through Alumni sponsored weekends in conjunction with the active chapter as well as tracking down Phis who we have lost contact with.

Finally the CAB provides financial support to the chapter to help the actives meet their needs. These include paying for actives to travel to GHQ leadership conferences every summer, boosting chapter assets such as a new generator or tailgate tent, and scholarship for active members who exceed in academics or in chapter leadership. The CAB created the 1984AAA (Aggieland Alumni Association) LLC was created as a non-profit LLC to help raise money to support our active members. The CAB controls these funds and distributes them based on chapter need and Board approval.

CAB History

The Texas Nu Chapter Advisory Board (CAB) was started in 2013 by two alumni Julian Mithani (Bond #511) and Greg King (Bond #520) in the fall of 2013. Their goal was simple: teach the young men of Phi Delta Theta basics principles of leadership and provide guidance to the Executive Board of the chapter. Soon the chapter began to grow and flourish with the guidance of the CAB, cumulating in the Texas Nu winning the Phoenix Award at the GHQ National Convention in the summer of 2016.

Soon the CAB began to grow and the possibilities of what the CAB could become were realized. The Board decided to become more organized and create official positions on the CAB to mirror the undergraduate chapter. Positions such as recruitment officers, treasurer, risk managers, and warden were added to help oversee and support the budding undergraduate chapter.

In the spring of 2017 the CAB become what it is today with a ten member board with positions ranging from the chairman to the academics chair. As the CAB continues to evolve and grow, the shape and organization of the Cab may change, but we never forget the last line in the Phikeia oath we took so long ago: “ I will strive in all ways to transmit the Fraternity to those who may follow after, not only, not less, but greater than it was transmitted to me.”
