Deadline approaching for 85th May 20 is the deadline to make your reservations for Omega’s 85th anniversary. This first-time summer alumni event has drawn a significant amount of interest. Because of its house-project, golf outing banquet approach, the event is drawing quite a cross-section of Omega alumni. The June 8 weekend has a lot more hotel rooms available than a homecoming weekend. Nonetheless, we have a block of rooms in the Union Club of the Purdue Memorial Union. Call 800/320-6291 to get a room for Friday, June 8, and/or Saturday, June 9. Tell them to reserve your room under “Pi Kappa Phi.” We set Saturday, June 9, for our keystone event honoring Omega’s 85th. A Saturday night event will be the focus of our celebration, but there will be weekend-long events for alumni and their families at Purdue. Times are subject to change. • 6 p.m. to midnight, Friday, June 8. Informal registration at the house. We’ll maintain a list of alumni members’ hotels and cell phone numbers, so attendees may contact their brothers who will be on campus. • 8 p.m., Friday to 2
a.m. Saturday. Informal gathering at a local watering hole. • 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday. Informal registration at the house. • 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday.
