Pi Delta Gamma Fraternity Inc., was birthed by three former loyal and dedicated members of Phi Delta Psi Fraternity founded in 1977, the organization (PDPsi) was established during a pre-internet age; and certain extensive research could not be done. In later years it was discovered that the letters brothers held dear to their hearts were not solely their own and were used by other existing fraternal organizations, which were founded years prior. These brothers could no longer represent a fraternity that shared Greek letters. So, without hindering the direction or vision of Phi Delta Psi and its founders, they decided to bow out gracefully.
Therefore, on March 17th 2007, after much research and discussion, three bold men by the names of: Steven M. Allen, Mario D. Woodard, and Marlon D. Woodard founded Pi Delta Gamma (PDG) Fraternity Incorporated. The alpha chapter was established at Eastern Michigan University by way of the Detroit Alumni chapter (Gamma Alpha Gamma chapter). Pi Delta Gamma which stands for Purpose, Change & Growth; embodies our pursuit of excellence, ownership, eternal pride, and honorable brotherhood. We stand on the principles of Integrity & Dedication; and believe in serving the community with pride, dignity, and honor. Scholarship and Leadership are necessary pillars in every Gamma Man's life, we believe these attributes to be the keys to success.
Each Founder provided input into the Intake manual and procedures as well as Constitution and By-laws which were completed and implemented on April 2, 2007 by unanimous vote.The Fraternity's Coat of Arms was designed and implemented April 4, 2007.
The first brother to crossover into Knighthood and recieve the accolade of our Most Honorable brotherhood was Sir John D. White on May 12, 2007 in Detroit, MI. Sir White was instrumental in the development of our Detroit Alumni Chapter (Gamma Alpha Gamma).
On Feburary 28th 2009 at 4:25 PM, The honorable brothers of Pi Delta Gamma Fraternity Inc, and The corageous brothers of Beta Pi Delta Fraternity Inc, came together to form a united alliance. The two organizations together see a vision of strength, brotherhood, and leadership, that can be shared with not only our greek brothers and sisters, but with the whole world. Our goal is to build a family on strong men that can be an example for generations to come. M.O.H.A.I.!
Beta Pi delta Fraternity Inc, was founded by brother, Marcus E. Shelton, in Houston Texas, He had a vision that no accomplished brother should be denied a chance to be a part of greek organization, reguardless of there educational background,color, or beliefs, he believed that all men who believe in brotherhood, leadership, and community should be given an oppurtunity to share his ideas, with brothers and sisters who felt the same. Marcus was happy to joined by three strong brothers who seen the same vision. So together Steven M. Allen, Mario D.Woodard, Marlon D. Woodard, and Marcus E. Shelton, plan to lead the next generation of strong soldiers. SOLDIERS FOR TRUTH!
