WEST GEORGIA

This year was a breakthrough year for our newly chartered Chapter. After taking the homecoming crown in the fall semester, our success carried into the spring. During Greek Week we swept the awards banquet with Overall Greek Champion, lip sync contest, attendance award, philanthropy award, and made top three in other awards. We also won multiple individual awards such as Greek God and Kappa Delta Sorority’s Dagger Man. We reached playoffs in all major sports for the fi rst time since colonizing and went far in softball playoffs. Thanks to our athletic success, we received 2nd place in the fi rst annual West Georgia Greek Cup. Not only did we excel in competitive areas, but we also raised $500 for the fi ght against cancer with Delta Delta Delta Sorority. This semester we established our fi rst true ABT with a new president and a new “BB”.

This past year has been one of both tradition and new milestones for our Chapter. We’ve seen the graduation of many of the founding fathers and welcomed the addition of new members. We’ve seen the Colony receive its charter, as well as receive unanimous election into the College’s Council of Fraternity Affairs, the governing body of all campus fraternities. We have come far from our original founding and have established both our name and our legacy on this campus.

WILMINGTON

Saturday, April 8th, marked the fi rst initiation for the Wilmington Colony. Adam Skinner, Kansas City ’95, hosted the initiation. Brothers from the nearby East Carolina and Coastal Carolina Chapters were in attendance and helped conduct the initiation. Local alumnus Miles Washburn, Massachusetts ’87, and Leadership Consultant Sean Rossiter were also present to oversee the event. Twelve men were initiated, as well as two fathers, and one new brother from Coastal Carolina. The Colony has the highest GPA for all fraternities on campus and has several members who are varsity or club athletes.

COSTNER RETURNS TO IOWA

Thousands gathered in Dyersville, Iowa to see Kevin Costner, Fullerton ’77, and attend a screening of the movie, Field of Dreams. The screening was part of a cross-country fi lm tour showing movies where they were originally fi lmed. The tour featured a pre-fi lm performance by Costner and his band. This was the fi rst time in 17 years, since the completion of fi lming, that Costner had returned to Dyersville.

“I feel like I will forever be connected here to the state of Iowa,” Costner told the crowd. “I’ve never lost my feel for what we did here. This was a perfect time for me to come back. This is our secret here tonight in the corn.”

Three Rivers Alumni Chapter

Four days after the MLB All-Star Game was played at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, we hosted a tailgate and outing at the very same venue. Forty brothers and friends joined in the cookout and feasted on great food prepared by master griller, Tom Horowitz “DD”, and current “A” of the alumni chapter. Bobby Gaunt, “E” of the Pittsburgh Chapter, coordinated the event. The outing was well represented by alumni from many chapters, including Lehigh, Youngstown, Johnstown, Ohio State, Duquesne, Pittsburgh, and Michigan State. Undergraduates from the Duquesne and Pittsburgh Chapters attended as well.
