The 2014 Homecoming was a great success with great memories and challenges put forth for the current members of Theta Chi. The honor classes of 2004, 1989 & 1964 showed up to reminisce about the 'good ol days'. We pulled down the composites and compared what you looked like then to now...just like a fine wine right, better with age.
We honored two of our distinguished alumni this weekend. Dr. Jim Lightbody '54 and Mr. Sidney Meridith '62. Both received the George T. Kilavos Alumni Award. This award is made to those who, by reason of exceptional service, personal effort, and unselfish interest, have made meritorious contributions to the local, regional, or national general welfare of Theta Chi Fraternity.
Initiation was held at Old main that afternoon, installing 12 new members to the fraternity. Alumni showed up for the ceremony and Andrew Kramer '95 was able to help install his son Nathan Kramer '18. Currently we have a third generation legacy in the chapter house, Sheffer Harbert '17 son of Thomas Harbert '84 son of Roger Harbert '57.

On September 30, the men of Theta Chi hosted the Waffleman philanthropy at the First United Methodist Church in Lincoln. Members sold tickets and helped the Waffleman by mixing batter, cooking sausages, making whipped topping, and serving drinks. Overall the philanthropy was a success, with around 160 people attending and $686 raised which will be donated to Relay for Life.
