Walk to Defeat ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Lou Gehrig was not only a legendary New York Yankee, but he was also a Brother in the Bond of Phi Delta Theta.
Every year, to honor his memory, the Phi Delta Theta Washington, DC alumni club forms a walk team and participates with undergraduates and alumni alike in the Washington, DC ALS walk.
Mark your calendars to participate in the 2017 Walk to Defeat ALS! Phi Delta Theta is a national sponsor and walk teams are now forming.
