History
In the beginning of November, 2002, Josh Morita and Scott Yaworski came to the University of Michigan, looking to re-establish the Alpha Phi Colony. After visiting sororities to search out the best and brightest of the campus, they held meetings to meet these leaders, scholars, athletes and gentlemen. Josh and Scott found 24 gentlemen who were a "cut above the rest" and they became the Alpha class of the Alpha Phi Colony. Officers were soon elected and Phi Gamma Delta at the University of Michigan was on its way to becoming a presence on campus once again. During the Winter semester 9 more pledges were recruited and eventually became full brothers. Currenty the Alpha Phi Colony has returned to the 707 Oxford house and is looking forward to a productive year. After adding over 30 brothers during the 2003-2004 school year. The following summer Dan McGraw, Matt Curd, Jeff Chiambretti, and Phil Vlisides went to Ekklesia in Atlanta, GA to present the chapter's petition to the brothers of Phi Gamma Delta, and the Alpha Phi Colony was approved to receive its charter. On November 6, 2004 the Alpha Phi Chapter was reborn at the University of Michigan. In the following months, a new cabinet was elected, a pledge class was initiated, and the brothers look forward to continuing the Fiji tradition for years to come.
