I. Founding 1913-1914 
The Michigan Epsilon Chapter of Pi Lambda Phi was founded at the University of Michigan by Jack Yellen and Nathaniel Goldstick, under the encouragement of Pi Lam alumni on the University staff. It was the 28th fraternity at the University of Michigan. Michigan Epsilon disappeared in the spring of 1914 due to the graduation of it's entire membership. 
 

II. Revival period 
Michigan Epsilon was revived in 1923 under the guidance of brother Goldstick by the former members of the Batrika club. Epsilon received its charter on March 7th, 1924. The Refounding Fathers were B. Koploy, P. Jay, R. Morrison, M. Blotcky, M. Marcus, E. Carter, L. Slosburg, E. Greenspan, and E. Hirshman.  The first Rex was Edward Ornstein, elected in 1925.  In 1924 Michigan Epsilon took residence at 732 Forest Ave. They remained there until 1934 when they purchased "The House on the Hill."  This house, at 715 Hill would be the address of Pi Lambda Phi for years to come. 
 

III.  Phi Beta Lambda and World War II Phi Beta Lambda was formed in 1921 and moved to 920 Baldwin in 1931. In 1942 Phi Beta Lambda national became a part of Pi Lambda Phi national. The Phi Beta Lambda chapter was one of three chapters on the same campus as a Pi Lambda Phi chapter. As a result the two houses were merged under the name Pi Lambda Phi. 
Immediately after the merger the United States Army occupied 715 Hill for troop training and most of the active brothers were drafted to fight in World War II. The sole remaining brother, Harrison "Beansy" Furst retained the traditions and rebuilt Epsilon after the war in 1945. "The House on the Hill" was refurbished in 1949. The growing strength of the Anti-Establishment movement during the later sixties reduced rush numbers and Michigan Epsilon, along with many other fraternities, folded in 1969. "The House on the Hill" was sold to the Lazaroff-Shaver Student Center for the price of $1. It is now know as the Chabad House. 
 

IV. The mid-seventies chapter 
Michigan Epsilon was revived in the mid-seventies by T. Jay Barrymore and rving Freeman, both brothers from the Massachusetts Theta chapter. They moved the house into 1017 Vaughn St. Apathy towards rush brought the chapter to a close in the spring of 1980. 
 

V. The mid-eighties revival 
In the fall of 1985, Edgar Cano and Edgar Vasquez returned from the Michigan Alpha Omega chapter at Sienna Heights determined to restart the Michigan Epsilon Colony. Lack of growth and apathy made the attempt a near failure. In the fall of 1986, Epsilon Rex Brian Vertz and Marshal Edgar Vasquez reorganized and rebuilt the Epsilon Colony. The colony grew from 11 members in 1986 to 22 members in early 1987 and near 50 by the beginning of 1988. The charter members were Dave Barish, Denis Beck, Jeff Brasch, Dave Doyle, John Ellis, Bruce Fox, Larry Fox, Dino Innumerable, Brad Kurtzberg, Peter Levine, Doug Levy, Adam Liebowitz, Eddie Mehrfor, Greg Mills, Jeff Schmit, Brian Small, Steve Smith, Mathew Stoff, Edgar Vasquez, Brain Vertz, Thomas Villanueva.  Michigan Epsilon took residence at 1012 Hill St. In the fall of 1993 most of 
the brotherhood resigned, leaving Michigan Epsilon deeply in debt. The chapter folded soon after. 

History of Michigan Epsilon Deuteron 
In the fall of 1994 a group of students disenchanted with the status quoe of 
the Greek system sought to create a different fraternity and, with Pi Lambda Phi as their name, they did. To evade the debts of the past chapter this new colony took the name Pi Lambda Phi Michigan Epsilon Deuteron. It received it colony status in December of 1994. The First Rex was Sean DeFour. Under his guidance, Michigan Epsilon Deuteron took residence at 820 Oxford Road in the fall of 1995. After the induction of the Alpha and Beta pledge classes, including Brian Booth, Rob Cummins, and Erik Wetzler, in December 1995, Matt Tomback was elected as the second Rex of Epsilon Deuteron. Gamma class (Stan Eisenberg, Jeff Tomson, Ryan Wolters, and Brian Weitzke) saw its induction in the spring of 1996. Epsilon Deuteron remained on the corner of Oxford and Wastenaw until August of 1995.

In the fall of 1996, the Delta class was inducted including brothers Steve Burlingame, Bryan F. Ackerman and Adam Weber.  Rexship was assumed by Brian Wietzke.  Pi Lambda Phi relocated at that time to 1021 Vaughn.  The spring of 1997 saw the inclusion of the Epsilon class.  Brothers Bernard Doan, Sarvesh Soi, Kevin Choo, and Marty Cagin were incepted.  It was in March of 1997 that Michigan Epsilon Deuteron was presented with a its chapter.  The fall of 1998 witnessed a new incumbent Rex in Bryan F. Ackerman.  During the inaugural term, Pi Lambda Phi, Michigan Epsilon Deuteron pioneered the first annual Elimination of Prejudice Program.  In its first year, the essay contest drew record topping participation from the University students, making Michigan Epsilon Deuteron one of the most successful runs at the program.
