Alpha Delta Phi - University of Michigan

2 | the peninsular Pride and Professionalism B R O T H E R S K E E P G R O W I N G P eninsular Chapter had a highly successful year on multiple fronts. Recruitment was tremendous with 22 fall and seven winter initiates. Our social calendar was jam-packed, including multiple big events with other campus chapters, fun brotherhood events, our wonderful semi-formal in Detroit and formal in Chicago, and many more. Brothers raised over $5,000 for philanthropy over the course of the year, with most of the money going toward the Fisher House, Autism Alliance of Michigan, and the Women's Center of Southeastern Michigan. Thanks largely to our wonderful recruitment success and our dedicated live-in coordinator, we have filled the chapter house for the 2025-26 year with 33 live-ins. Many new members are already getting involved in various positions. Will Salo '28 was elected as secretary soon after initiation and is now succeeded by Owen Lennon '28. Fellow members Nathan Siemen '28, Kalani Growney '28, and Hayden Sylvia '28 have big aspirations as our new recruitment chairmen, including a goal of 25 fall 2025 initiates. Our chapter has been involved all over campus, with over 90 percent of brothers in project teams, professional fraternities, Michigan club sports teams, and business clubs. In the tech world, Jake Herman '25 is developing an app called "Frnds of Frnds" and Max Gorman '27 is making one called CarSnap. Members have pushed their physical limits, including the founding of our own intrafraternal football league, group workouts in the chapter gym, and involvement in school intramural sports. Brothers made countless wonderful memories, and we hope to continue this trend into an even better 2025-26.
