Phi Delta Theta is proud to announce its official expansion at Grand Valley State University with the induction of twenty-seven men as members of the Michigan Theta Emerging Chapter. The induction ceremony, held on November 23, 2024, marked the semester-long expansion effort led by recruitment specialist Adrian Ghilardi, Arizona State ’23.
This induction of the Michigan Theta Emerging Chapter was made possible through the unwavering support of local alumni and Fraternity leaders. Key supporters included Province President Michael Boulter, Kettering ’12, General Council Treasurer Nat Love, Michigan ’81, and Chapter Advisory Board (CAB) Chairman Joe Perin, Butler ’15, along with other CAB members. The ceremony also welcomed Grand Valley’s assistant director of student life, Jeremy Paul, Otterbein ’19, who expressed his excitement for the Fraternity’s contributions to the GVSU community.
The Michigan Theta Emerging Chapter enters GVSU’s Greek community with an impressive foundation of academic and extracurricular excellence. The chapter holds the highest GPA on campus with an average of 3.46 across more than fifteen diverse majors. Its members include student-athletes, club leaders, and representatives from various campus organizations, all committed to fostering a values-driven brotherhood.
Looking to the future, the Michigan Theta Emerging Chapter aims to be “an ideal example of male leadership by having a reputable brotherhood with shared values, and by leading by example and holding each other accountable.” This vision positions the chapter to thrive as a key part of GVSU’s Greek life and the broader Phi Delta Theta community in Michigan.
