The Alpha Phiji Phlier (also called Ephlier) is a feature that has been a mainstay of our communications with our Michigan Fiji Brotherhood. It is inspired by the true benefit we received from re-installing our chapter at 707 Oxford. We hope that this communication can be a vehicle to inspire you to reconnect with your Fiji Brothers. It will help you remember that our fraternal ties are not for college days alone.

We have been sending Ephliers since March 2005. Look below to see any issues you may have missed.
