Andrew Todd '15
November 2022
A paddle out was
held for Andrew
on December 17,
2022, honoring him
in his hometown of
Manhattan Beach. Brothers, friends, and
family will remember Andrew as a great
athlete and water polo player. He was a
fierce competitor while remaining a kind,
funny, smart, and ambitious man. Andrew
remained committed to becoming a better
person. He was a graduate of Ross Business
School with a minor in computer science.
The morning after Andrew's passing, a
rainbow appeared directly over the water
outside Dome's Beach where he had surfed
one last time. It was the talk of the little surf
community at Rincon.
What Brotherhood Means to Us
Prior to the chapter's suspension, our

commemorate their Phi Psi experience and learn
the meaning of Michigan Alpha brotherhood.
