1. Leader- Development Seminar (LDS)
How YOU Can Become a
Leader in Pharmacy

2. What is LDS? LDS is the ultimate leadership experience
4 days of leadership workshops
Over 350 Brothers in attendance
More than 30 alumni Brothers as facilitators
Many of the LDS attendees are officers from their own Phi Delta Chi Chapters and are great peer resources. LDS attendees keep in touch well beyond LDS and motivate each other towards success throughout their pharmacy career.
Members of the PLEI Board of Directors include John Grabenstein (who led the charge for pharmacy immunization programs), Nancy Alvarez (APhA President), Ralph Saroyan (Phi Delta Chi’s Grand Poobah), Gary Keil, Michael Negrete, are some of our most influential alumni Brothers.

3. Why is LDS Special?
Phi Delta Chi is the only professional pharmacy fraternity to offer a week-long leader-development program
Emphasize this point: Phi Delta Chi’s commitment to professional development and leadership sets us apart from other fraternities. This may be a good talking point during rush season.

In 2016, LDS was held in St. Louis, MO
