Mentorship
Mentorship is a vital part of Phi Delta Phi, offering brothers access to invaluable guidance and support from experienced mentors. Our close relationship with Phi Delta Phi at U-M Law School, Kent Inn, provides unique opportunities to connect with current law students who share insights into navigating law school, preparing applications, and planning careers in the legal field. These connections allow our brothers to network with future legal professionals, gaining practical advice and a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities ahead. Through mentorship, brothers receive support and a clear pathway toward success in their academic and professional journeys.
