This past week, August 31- Sept. 3, the good ol’ boys from the Pi Delta chapter showed UAB yet again what they are made of. Picture it; the TKE House, this past week, tons of people, and a have fun attitude. Add them together and you get TKE Week, the week long celebration welcoming everyone back to school and saying good-bye to summer.
The first day, when the sun was shining and a breeze a’blowin, the brothers played football on the Campus Green. On Tuesday night, the ring was set and the bell rang as the UFC Fight Night got underway. Wednesday saw Greek Games and fun times. But the mack-daddy of them all was Casino Night. Blackjack, Poker, and chips galore. The House was yet again decked out and the guest followed suit. At the end of the night, the person with the most chips won received a prize. This year’s prize: a Snuggie!
The week went off without a hitch, and the boys are ready for next year to roll around.

Well over 100 Pi Delta Fraters gathered to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Pi Delta Chapter. The weekend began on March 27 with a casual cook-out at the Pi Delta Chapter House. Active Fraters enjoyed socializing with Alumni spanning the decades. Then, the next morning, the scheduled golf tournament was replaced with an outing to Vestavia Bowl due to inclimate weather. Frater Scott Barnett, Pi Delta 54, bowled the high score of 164. The weekend culminated with the Anniversary Banquet at the Birmingham Sheraton. The semi-formal event was maxed to capacity as Fraters and guest listened to captivating speeches by the Andrew Stone, Active Prytanis, Pi Delta 407; Tripp Warren, Grand Province Advisor and Pi Delta Chapter Advisor, Pi Delta 411; Andy Marsch, UAB Student Life; and Benny Bliss, Pi Delta Founder. Mike Hobbs, Pi Delta 189, acted as emcee for the evening and kept things moving along, and we were glad that he was able to join us! Frater David Bala, Pi Delta 448, prepared a video of recent chapter history for the event. Also, the annual Pi Delta Chapter Awards were presented. Following the banquet dinner, guests enjoyed a closing reception with a live band. One event of note during the closing reception was that active serenaded alumni and vice versa with some traditional TKE songs…”Yo Ho” and “Fraters, Fraters, Fraters,” respectively. The evening ended with all Fraters joining in Rappa Tappa. The event was a great success thanks to the help of many individuals, but special thanks goes to Patrick Tatum, Joshua Waldrop, and Jason Hall for their hardwork and dedication to the project.
