2015 Founder's Day/USO Golf Recap

The Theta Chi Founder's Day  event on April 25 was well attended.  Our Founder's Day at Gamma Phi includes the commemoration of the founding of Theta Chi Fraternity at Norwich University on April 10, 1856 and the transformation of Delta Sigma Chi, a local Wesleyan fraternity dating back to 1917.  Delta Sigma Chi was installed as the Gamma Phi Chapter of Theta Chi on April 30, 1949.  A delicious brunch was served by the Actives.  House President, Connor Bohlken, provided an update on the chapter's recent successes.  The brunch was then followed by the Theta Chi/USO Golf Tournament at Mahoney Golf Course.  Proceeds of this event were contributed to the USO.  I continue to be favorably impressed by the young men at Gamma Phi.
 
Our next scheduled Theta Chi Alumni Association event will be the Alumni/Active Work Days at the fraternity house on August 13, 14, 15 & 16.  This combined effort will be geared to working on refurbishment where needed to prepare our  house for another successful "Rush Week" at Gamma Phi.  In addition to this worthwhile effort, this will also be a great opportunity to get together with your Theta Chi brothers old and new.  Brother Steve Wylie, class of 1965, has developed a comprehensive maintenance plan for our property. Working in conjunction with Trent Maly, President of the Building Corp, Dustin Bartley, House Director and Trevor Cochrane, House Property Manager, projects will be identified and then coordinated by Steve.

Steve serves on the board of the Alumni Association and the Theta Chi Building Corporation.  (He and wife, Patsy, reside in Edmond, Oklahoma.)If you will be coming in from out of town, a recommendation for a hotel is the Comfort Suites at 331 North Cotner, (402) 325-8800.  When making your reservation mention that you will be in Lincoln to participate in an Alumni event at Nebraska Wesleyan and you should be extended the NWU rate of $79 per night.
Look forward to seeing you in August.

Fraternally,
