Robbie Marsden is a proud alumnus of Pennsylvania Epsilon at Dickinson College. He currently lives in Springfield, Pennsylvania, and serves as a teacher of African American history and the head football coach at Vaux Big Picture High School in North Philadelphia. While he joined Phi Delta Theta as a freshman at Dickinson, his Fraternity experience became a truly invaluable part of his identity during his time as a leadership consultant with Phi Delta Theta General Headquarters from 2015 to 2017.
What is your most memorable experience or moment from Phi Delta Theta?
The most memorable experience I’ve had with Phi Delta Theta is having had the privilege of serving as a traveling leadership consultant for two years. I knew I wanted to be a teacher and coach in the Philadelphia area for the rest of my life, so when some relationships I had built at GHQ approached me about the opportunity to work with Phi Delta Theta undergraduates across the country for a fixed, two-year term came about; after some convincing, I made the best decision I’ve ever made. Building relationships with undergraduates, alumni, and GHQ staff members from across North America opened my eyes to how big our network truly is. Many of these people are close friends and mentors of mine to this day. It is this experience and these relationships that are single handedly my biggest point of pride as a Phi Delta Theta member.
