MESSAGE FROM VIRGINIA TECH TO PHI DELTA PSI FRATERNITY

Your generosity helps Virginia Tech accomplish our mission of providing an outstanding educational experience, opportunities for ground-breaking research, and service to the community. By giving to the university, you are helping to improve the lives of people here on campus and around the world."
