November has always been a good month for Eta Omicron. It reminds us not only of our fraternal ties to our chapter, but also signals to us that the holidays are coming. On the weekend of November 6, 7 and 8 brothers from both past and present set out on a quest – a quest to return to the arms of brotherhood in San Francisco. While most brothers knew that there would be surprises in the mix, few knew that it would rekindle their love for Pi Kappa Phi. A much needed reprieve from normal life, the weekend celebrated Eta Omicron’s wonderous fifteen years of brotherhood. As everyone talked and reminisced about the times when they were active, it also rekindled the reason why we chose Pi Kappa Phi. Whether it be for Push America, or
for the family you never had, we are here for a reason. As the weekend’s events panned out, brothers had a chance to reacquaint themselves with their brothers. People change throughout the years, and we are no exception. Some brothers now have families, children and some even live out of the country. But this doesn’t change anything, we are all still Pi Kappa Phi. On Saturday night we had a formal banquet dinner. We were also graced to have Todd Sargent (Eta Sigma #0022) speak to us on behalf of the National Headquarters. One thing that he said really reinforced the motto of Eta Omicron, Strength Through Diversity. He said that our Alumni make the house what it is today, the Active brothers make the house of the future, and our brothers to
come, make the house forever. Among other things said at the event, we also took a moment to honor some of our brothers. We honored our brothers whom have served in our countrys’s military, and those brothers whom are in the Chapter Eternal. Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of Ray Uribe #0048, Dan Kingman #0082 (whom was laid to rest that day), and Pat Savage #0122 whose family was in attendance. Finally on Sunday we had our annual Actives vs. Alumni softball match. While the Alumni managed to win again, it wasn’t a total run-away. The Actives gave the Alumni a real run for their money all the way until the last inning. Yours in Pi Kappa Phi,
