50 Years at Delta-Rho

by The Emerald Staff; contributions from Daniel Daugherty (Morehead State ’88)

Delta-Rho Chapter and Delta-Rho Alumni Association were thrilled to have Brothers (both undergraduate and alum) and friends return back to Morehead, Kentucky to celebrate 50+ continuous years of Sigma Pi Fraternity on the beautiful campus of Morehead State University. As the event came to fruition, it was apparent that the over two years of work put into the planning after Covid related postponements was worth the effort. Thanks to the help of Morehead State President Dr. Jay Morgan (Murray State '91) and the entire Morehead State Alumni Association staff, the event came together in a way that made all attendees proud. Guests started by taking a tour of the University and were wowed by the brand new Adron Doran University Center, and spoke highly of what a great addition The Rocky Adkins Dining Commons, or “The Rock,” is to campus. A golf outing followed on a chilly and windy Friday afternoon at Eagle Trace. The evening continued with the meet and greet with spouses and friends of Sigma Pi. Saturday kicked off with a campus tour followed up by lunch at "The Rock.” Afterwards, a well-received DeltaRho Alumni Association meeting was held, followed by an invite-only donor reception for those who have donated to the Sigma Pi Educational Foundation and the Delta-Rho Alumni Association Chapter Education Fund. The last event was the banquet, which included speeches from Dr. Morgan and the first President of Delta-Rho Chapter, Bob Guillaume ('71). A few moments were taken to reflect on those who are no longer with us, and then 50 year certificates and recognition awards for other alums and undergrads were presented. The night ended with a 50/50 split the pot with the undergraduates, a silent auction to raise money for scholarships, and some social time to celebrate, dance, and rekindle those bonds of Sigma Pi brotherhood that we all hold dear. Everyone in attendance had nothing but positive comments on the entire weekend's festivities with plans already kicking off to celebrate 55 years of Delta-Rho Chapter and Sigma Pi Fraternity at Morehead State University in 2026!
