Brothers,
We have had an extremely
successful past year. Chase
McCaleb has done a great job
improving relations between
current brothers and alumni
through multiple gatherings (our
25th anniversary and
Homecoming). We are in our best
state financially in a decade
thanks to Nate Anschuetz’s hard
work as Quaestor. Please join us
on the morning of Saturday,
December 12th, as we initiate
seven new bothers into the
brotherhood. I hope to see you
there.

Homecoming 2009 was
a huge success. After
the game, many alumni
came back to the
house to share some
good food and
memories.
We are still trying to
expand our contact
with all alumni so keep
in touch.
Further alumni events
are planned for next
semester.

A special thanks goes
out to the class of 1985
since certain unnamed
brothers may have
driven a Winnebago to
the game and later
parked it on college
walk.
Thanks to all who joined
us and for being so
enthusiastic and sharing
so many memories.

The fall family dinner
was a huge success.
We had many family
and friends over to the
house after the Brown
game to share in good
food and celebrate the
end of another football
season. Special thanks
to all the families and
their generous support
of our fraternity.
