Sesquicentennial Celebrations

As we move closer to the climax of the Sesquicentennial Karnea in August, a number of alumni celebratory functions are in the planning stages. Delt alumni from every chapter, plus local area undergraduates, are invited to join in one of the several galas in March, April and May 2008, in a buildup to the Pittsburgh Karnea and the pilgrimage to Bethany.

The Sesquicentennial alumni events will be unlike any Founders Day banquet, anniversary celebration or any other Delt event you may have attended. We will celebrate leadership, one of the primary values in Delt membership.

Delts in each area will receive an invitation with specific information about each event. Most events will be evening banquets, preceded by a cocktail reception. There are hundreds of Delts from various universities who live in or near each of the host cities. This is a great chance to join with your Delt brothers, and to truly understand the breadth of Delta Tau Delta.

While planning is underway in the eight locales mentioned here, it is not too late to set a function in your city. If you are interested in celebrating our Fraternity’s leadership and the Sesquicentennial, or if you would like to be involved in the planning of a function at one of the above sites, contact the Sesquicentennial Alumni Subcommittee via Bob Marwill at rmarwill@sbcglobal.net and/or 972-233-2363.
