ONCE FIERCE COMPETITORS TO PIERCE COLLEGE PHI DELTS

 Once these gentlemen were fierce competitors to the Phi Delta Psi, and to each others' fraternities at Pierce College. Today they are good friends, who take time to share a Bob's Big Boy hamburger. Paul Estavillo, who was once President of Chi Chi Chi invites Phi Delts to join their lunches.

PLEDGE DAN MILLER AND FAMILY

One of the most beloved, non active/alumni member of the Phi Delta Psi and the Maple Leaf Society is "Pledge" Dan Miller (here shown with his wife Shirley) and two daughters. Pledge Miller was adopted into our Brotherhood by our guys in their Manhattan Beach days. For many of our Alpha Brothers and Beta Br. Jerry Olson, it wouldn't be a party with Dan and Shirley there.
