Fraters,
We hope you can join us for a fun and in-person celebration of the Drake Relays this year, April 24 and 25! We will be hosting our annual alumni barbecue at the chapter house on Saturday the 25th from 11:00am–1:00pm.
We will have a brief chapter update and award our annual scholarships at a ceremony at 1:00 pm.
The barbecue will be catered by Smoky D’s BBQ, the award-winning caterer for the last few years. Families are welcome, and if the weather is nice, we’ll have some yard games set up.
We hope you’re able to come and to connect with your fellow fraters, to share some stories, and to have some fun together.
If there are any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Dillon Malone at [email protected] or (712) 269-7090.

The undergraduate chapter held their Pumpkin Smash fundraiser for St Jude’s this weekend and their total collected from the event and online is nearly $1,000.
A little bump from our alumni to the online fundfraising amount could push them past their goal for the event.
Please consider a small donation if you are able.

Stopped by the chapter house and delivered a batch of caffeine and snacks on behalf of the alumni who have continued to donate to the chapter.
Hopefully the extra energy will power the chapter to consecutive “Top Fraternity GPA” awards!
Thanks to all who have donated to keep the tradition alive!
