2 | the peninsular W ith great pride and enthusiasm, I share with you the tremendous success of our fraternity's new, four-tiered annual giving program. I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact this initiative has had on our beloved fraternity. Your generous contributions have made possible a Homecoming tailgate enjoyed by over 125 alumni and their family members and the active chapter's recruitment of 19 new members in the fall. I am thrilled to see the passion of our alumni translate into these achievements. Our fraternity has always stood as a pillar of strength, unity, and brotherhood. To ensure the sustainability of our traditions and the prosperity of our beloved institution, we introduced the four-tiered annual giving program.

Xaipe, Trevor Grantham '14 tregrantham@gmail.com T his spring, we reflect on the accomplishments, milestones, and memories of last fall. Our cherished fraternity experienced a semester that was nothing short of excellent—full of personal improvement, philanthropy, and the growth and flourishing of our brotherhood. Firstly, we enthusiastically welcomed 19 new members into our brotherhood. This induction marks the largest new member class in the last decade for our chapter. We welcome our new brothers with open arms and are excited about the experiences we will share. Peninsular was fortunate enough to watch our University of Michigan Wolverines go undefeated in football. The historic season was highlighted by our triumphs in the Rose Bowl and the National Championship. As the football team brought pride and glory to our university, our brotherhood cheered together at watch parties, tailgates, and the National Championship parade. For philanthropy, we tried a new program of returning recyclable cans and donating the money we received. We held many more fundraisers for the Autism Alliance, Fisher House, and the Women's Center of Southeastern Michigan. Our achievements in philanthropy reflect our desire and commitment to be leaders who enact positive change within our community. As we look to the future, we are pleased to bear the responsibilities of Alpha Delta Phi brotherhood. We will continue to carry on the spirit of camaraderie, philanthropy, and leadership that defines our brotherhood, reaching new milestones as we do. Thank you to all who have contributed to the success of Peninsular Chapter; your dedication and support help to shape our organization and is truly appreciated.
