This past Friday, the Michigan Epsilon Chapter of Phi Delta Theta initiated its 500th member, a remarkable milestone. Bond #500 Richard Falvey (second from left) was the first individual initiated of his seven-man Phikeia class, earning the iconic 500th bond number.

Michigan Epsilon was founded in 1983 by Johnny Ariemma and is the oldest fraternity at Northwood University that is still active. With the initiation of Brother Falvey, Phi Delta Theta is the first fraternity on campus to reach 500 initiated brothers. Congratulations to Richard, his newly-initiated class, and all of the brothers of Michigan Epsilon!
