Celebrate 135 Years of Brotherhood

Every year, Phi Delta Chi Brothers across the country celebrate a trulymonumental day – a day that changed all our lives for the better. November 2nd

1883 was the day 11 University of Michigan pharmacy students, led by theirDean, Albert B. Prescott, came together to establish this great Brotherhood. Onehundred and thirty-five years later and Phi Delta Chi’s Brotherhood is thestrongest it has ever been. Whether through long-standing annual regionalevents, or local Chapter celebrations, together our Brothers will celebrate andreflect upon all that the Fraternity has given us (most importantly, each other).

We celebrate the day that changed the path of pharmacy history and planted theseed that would grow into our great Fraternity as it stands today. Cheers to 135more years to come and cheers to all Brothers of Phi Delta Chi.
