Phi Delta Theta Fraternity

What’s been happening:

When I transferred to the U. of Idaho from the U. of Oklahoma in 1957, I had the opportunity to introduce to the new-coming president of Idaho Alpha, John Chapman, the idea of a PDT Turtle Race that had been successful at Oklahoma Alpha. After explaining all the details to him and checking on the availability of racing turtles in Oshkosh, WS, John was convinced, and the first Idaho PDT turtle race became a huge success with participation of all U of Idaho sororities in 1958. The PDT Turtle Race has become a mainstay annual event on Mother's Day for over 55 years, and continues on!
