Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti-Inkster Alumni Chapter Celebrates Founders’ Day – January 5, 2013
Last night we had an evening celebration to honor our Founders given the significant of January 5th and the great history of our fraternity. This was another one our BROTHERHOOD CELEBRATIONS used to reclaim Brothers. Several Brothers prepared food and provided beverages for this occasion. Last night many brothers participated in the celebration that we had not seen in a while along with Brother Derrick Thomas, who recently moved to the area. The event was held at the University of Michigan Golf Club House, located at 500 E. Stadium Blvd. It was great to have a few of our Undergrad Brothers celebrating with us. The Brotherhood, food, and fellowship was truly awesome. We thank God for giving our founders the vision to establish this great fraternity and more importantly to allow us all to be a part of it as we use the fraternity as a vehicle to provide leadership and service to the community.
