Fellas,
It’s that time of year again, and this year looks to be very busy. First and foremost, our Alumni Chapter (yes, chapter – now formally recognized by Sigma Chi nationals) will hold a ritualistic meeting in the Chi Lodge chapter room beginning at 10 a.m. Don’t be late! The rest of the day is as follows:
11 am (or directly after meeting): Annual softball game between actives and alums. Game will take place at H.E. Sergeant Community Center on the Bennoch Road in Old Town, just off Stillwater Ave by the legendary Riverplex.
12 – 3 pm: Annual tailgate party with Kimball & Co. in Lot A between TKE and the football field. Bring along whatever spirits you fancy as well as any foods you would like to share with everyone. Word has it that Abe Frohman, the “Sausage King of Chicago”, will be serving up his famous sausage bombs during the party.
3 pm : Maine Black Bears take on The Tribe of William & Mary. It would be great to have an all Sig section to cheer them on; maybe our support will help to pull them out of a four-game losing streak…
5 pm – 8 pm: Homecoming reception at the old Sigma Chi house on College Ave for all alumni and actives. Light refreshments, snacks, etc. will be provided, as well as a CASH BAR on the first floor. Bring plenty of cash; it’s been a long time since anyone’s been able to reminisce over cocktails in our beloved house, and it could be a great time for all of us.
8 pm – Whenever we fall: Party with the actives in their new location in Old Town. Come see the new underground bar! Ice cold beer always on tap and plenty of young co-eds that love to dance (let’s see if any of you old codgers have still got it….this means you, Tipsy McStagger!)
Directions to new house:
Follow Stillwater Ave toward Old Town. After the Hannaford on your right, the first street you come to will be Abbott. Take a right on Abbott and follow it until you come around a sharp bend. A little ways after the bend, look for the house on the corner of King St and Abbott, and more than likely you will see plenty of cars around the house.
I hope everyone can make it to Homecoming this year. Any Sigs who attend the game but are unaware of our plans will more than likely see the giant Miller Lite ‘Welcome back Rho Rho Alums’ banner hanging from the pillars of our old house. Chances are, it will grab their attention as well as their curiousity and maybe they’ll swing by for a beer. I’ll be there waiting. See you this weekend!
IHSV
Rick
