Frater Tommy Miles, alumnus of the Xi-Chi Chapter at Southern Polytechnic State University, volunteered his time and screen-printing expertise for an excellent Pi Delta brotherhood event at the Chapter House on Saturday, March 21, 2009. This was quite a treat for the active Pi Delta chapter. Frater Miles is legendary for his collection of TKE screen-printing equipment. Active fraters printed TKE logo gear on backpacks, gym shorts, t-shirts, and flags. The Pi Delta Chapter is truly grateful for Frater Miles volunteering his time and equipment to allow our chapter some quality TKE brotherhood time.
Alpha Gamma Delta and Tau Kappa Epsilon were off to the races on March 19, 2009. The Kentucky Derby theme for this mixer was a great success. Tekes and Squirrels were paired off and placed bets on three different Kentucky Derby races. Prizes were awarded based on the number of points each team scored by selecting a first, second, or third place finisher. Frater Kyle Larsen was selected by Alpha Gamma Delta as “Best Dressed.” Carson Tallant was awarded the honor of “Best Hat.” Alpha Gamma Delta provided punch and snacks, and everyone had a great time during the event.
On, March 20, 2009, the Pi Delta Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon and the Kappa Delta Chapter of Omega Psi Phi held their 2nd annual mixer: TOGA TOGA, Part II. Brothers dawned their best toga wear and headed to Matthew’s Bar & Grill on Morris Avenue for another outrageous night out with the Ques. Our very own Andrew Williams was on the turntables providing music for the all-night throwdown. This annual event is one not to be missed!
On March 7, 2009, the Pi Delta Chapter held a Brotherhood Retreat and Ritual Workshop at the Chapter House. Tareq Fayyad, Pylortes, led the Ritual Workshop and Andrew Williams, Hypophetes, led the Brotherhood Retreat. Frater Williams focused the Brotherhood Retreat on three essential themes – Ritual, Scholarship, and Brotherhood. For the Ritual Workshop, Frater Fayyad reviewed the Initiation Ritual and Secret Works. A large percentage of the active chapter was in attendance as well as one alumus, Frater Justin Bramblett.
