e-COMMUNICATOROF THE PHI DELTA CHI FRATERNITY NOVEMBER [VOL 8; ISSUE 11]
THE
On November 2, 1883 elevengentlemen attending the University ofMichigan, met in the room ofHoffman and Gardner and held ameeting to discuss the advisability oforganizing a pharmaceutical society.Under the guidance of Albert BPrescott, these eleven Brothers beganthe framework of our great Fraternityas we know it today.
Throughout the last 134 years, thefraternity has undergone severalchanges, such as changing our namefrom Phi Chi to Phi Delta Chi,transitioning from a society to aprofessional fraternity, becoming co-educational, and adapting to thechanging world around us. ThisFounders’ Day we take a moment tosay thank you to those eleven greatminds that envisioned the creation ofan organization. I would like to think,they would be proud of what we haveaccomplished since that Novembernight in 1883.
I also hope your Chapter will take amoment to be grateful for thefounding fathers’ of your individualChapters. Do you know the names ofthose Brothers who had the visionand desire to bring Phi Delta Chi toyour campus?
