Homecoming Tailgate
Saturday, October 20
Theta Chi will
continue its yearly tradition of having the best damn tailgate in College
Park! Before you see Chris Turner and resurgent Maryland Terrapins take
on surprising #19 Virginia at 8PM, stop by the Theta Chi tailgate to
see some old friends. The tailgate will take place on “the hill” between
the traffic circle at Presidents Drive and Ludwig Field (soccer field). This
is the grassy area closest to Byrd Stadium in Lot 1, across from Riggs
Alumni Center. This is the same place we have tailgated for the
past few years. The undergrads will be supplying the food and a DJ. This
year’s event is BYOB.
Party starts at 2PM and lasts until game time at 8PM. If you need a ride
or a place to park, the undergrads have provided us with a shuttle leaving
from the temporary Theta Chi house (the old SAM or TEP house). We will
see you at the tailgate!
Theta Chi Annual Golf Tournament Friday, October 19
Well
folks, it’s once again time for the annual Theta
Chi Homecoming Golf Tournament. Widely referred to as the 5th Major
of the year, this year’s Tournament has mega star quality. And
boy will it be entertaining! The day will start with Steve “Slab” Broadman
hitting the ceremonial first slice off the 1st tee. Somewhere in
the middle of the pack you’ll find Bill “Slo” Van Dyke,
Jim “Hack” Hodges and Bart Teems, our grandest alumni of the
day, pain-killing their way to the 18th green hoping to nudge by par. The
day should peak with the team of Tom “Toungy” Morris, Tim “Magoo” Magee,
Kevin “KP” Powderly and Chris “Nut” Grant capturing
1st prize for the second time in three years. They’re on course
for a dynasty rivaled only by the modern day Patriots and the Yankees of
Murderer’s Row.
At the conclusion of the tournament, we’ll head to Mulligan’s
Grill in the Clubhouse to pound beers like the good old days. We’ll
tell stories of great times past and boast of the good times yet to come
for us and the future brothers who will grace the halls of our soon to
be renovated Alpha Psi Chapter House.
In between you’ll find plenty of hacks, lots of beers and plenty
of VIPs including many past Presidents, both Undergrad and Alumni. Look
for them, shake their hand, look into their eyes and make sure they’re
back involved in this most important time in our chapter’s history. You’ve
got Bill Van Dyke, Jim Hodges, Jerry Guido, Paul “Snidely” Richardson,
Tom Morris, Mark “Scrappy” Paxton, Kevin Brown, Steve Broadman,
Rob “Ganja” Gibbs. VIPs like Doug Lunenfeld, JP McLaughlin,
Bart Teems. It’s a lineup of veritable
all stars from top to bottom. I'm missing a few others but you
can refer to the foursomes listed in the attachment ( here ). These
guys know how to extend the helping hand. They’ve done
if before. They’ve been doing it for years. They’re
doing it now. And they’ll do it until they die. They’re
Theta Chi’s for Life. Are you?
Fraternally,
Brad Coltun
