Phi Delta Psi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phi Delta Psi Fraternity, Incorporated(ΦΔΨ) was founded on March 21, 1977 on the campus of Western Michigan University. Phi Delta Psi was founded on the principles of eternal honor, perseverance, leadership, achievement and brotherhood. Ten founding fathers created a Greek-lettered organization that embodied the “new” social, economic and political challenges of African-Americans males. The birth of Phi Delta Psi was imperative to our founders’ mantra of service to our fellow man and brother which would benefit their universities, families, community and the world. The founding fathers of Phi Delta Psi are: Kwameh A. Barnett, Derek G. Bell, Richard B. Bell, Charles W. Cameron, Gregory R. Brown, Gerald K. Dixon, Dennis D. Jones, Peter McClain, Michael V. Mosby, and Daulton R. Tansil.
In November of 1977, Phi Delta Psi was incorporated in the State of Michigan as the 7th African-American fraternity in the country. Phi Delta Psi was built on the founding purpose of initiating men for the content of their character rather that the thickness of their hide. The founders felt that an intake process should only be conducted for the purpose of developing men who can achieve the highest ideals and academic excellence in order to serve as role models and contribute to the social enlistment of future generations.
