My Iron Phi Story
Welcome to Brian Fraser's Iron Phi Page
Sadly, the Michigan Beta chapter of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity was recently devasted by the loss of our President, Friend, and Forever Brother Brian Fraser. Brian was a victim of the shooting that took place at Michigan State University while he was working at the Union. Brian was a great President, but he was an even better Brother who will be missed dearly by every Brother in this fraternity. He was truly a beautiful soul that was taken way too early from this earth. We have taken the initiative of making Brian an Iron Phi posthumously in honor of the love and commitment he has shown Phi Delta Theta and the Brothers within.
The mission of Iron Phi is to strengthen the Phi Delta Theta International Fraternity and the impact it has on the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease through the fundraising and athletic efforts of its members. Lou Gehrig was a member of Phi Delta Theta, and our organization has taken an active role in finding a cure.
The net proceeds will support ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) research, education, screening and treatment. It will also help strengthen an organization (Phi Delta Theta) that has had a lasting impact on my life.
Approximately 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year. It is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor NNneurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. That's why I'm becoming an Iron Phi. To do something bold about Lou Gehrig's disease.
We've set Brian's goal at $1,000. So I need your help. Would you please consider making a donation of $10-20. You can make a donation on this page by clicking on the "Make a Gift" link below the thermometer. You can also send a check made out to Iron Phi to us at 120 Spartan Ave.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Sincerely,
Michigan Beta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta

How Does My Donation Make a Difference?
Your donation towards an Iron Phi athlete equally supports two very important things: Supporting ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) through research and support of ALS families and leadership development for undergraduate members of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity.
At the end of each year calendar year, the LiveLikeLou Foundation grants dollars raised through Iron Phi to fund its initiatives that support ALS research, scholarships to support the higher education goals of ALS dependents, and summer camp experiences for children who have a parent or grandparent with ALS.
Dollars used for undergraduate leadership development have and continue to help Phi Delta Theta educate more of its undergraduate members as they work to “Become the Greatest Version of Themselves.”
