Phi Delta Theta mourns the passing of our Brothers in the Bond and extends condolences to their family members and friends.
All Michigan Alpha Brothers in good standing with the fraternity join the Chapter Grand upon their passing. The Alumni Association intends to maintain the Chapter Grand on our website as a permanent memorial to our departed brothers.
Please note that obituaries, or memorial articles, are posted in the order of when the Michigan Alpha Brother passed away, not when we received the obituary, so older posts may actually be new on this website.
If you are a family member or friend of a departed Michigan Alpha Brother not listed on the website, the Alumni Association would be pleased to add an obituary or memorial article to the Chapter Grand. Please contact the Alumni Association at [email protected].
