Leadership of Phi Gamma Delta

The 1912 Ekklesia approved the hiring of a full-time professional visitation officer. The program began with the hiring of Cal Chambers in 1913. Field Secretaries are humorously known as "Riders of the Purple Sage" or ROTPS, and identify themselves by the number indicating the order of hire.

Letters following the names indicate other offices held:
President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, Councilor, General Appointed Officer, NIC Officer, Editor, Headquarters Staff, Field Secretary.
