Social News – Scarlet vs Blue: Who’s Gonna Win?

It’s that time of year again, dear Alumni – that time when the Actives think they have what it takes to steal that trophy away from the Alumni.  It’s the annual Scarlet vs. Blue softball game on Sunday, April 13, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. at the USF Riverfront Park.  Looking back, one can see that the Alumni have had quite the winning streak:

Scarlet v Blue

Alumni – 4 / Chapter – 0

However, if we aren’t careful, this could be the Chapter’s year!  With an ever growing Chapter and an even stronger determination on their part to show what they are made of, the Alumni can’t get over-confident!

So make plans now to come out to the park on Sunday, April 13th to show your support from your fellow Alumni – or, even better, pick up a bat and glove and join the fun!  All skill levels are welcome.  Bring the whole family, as there will be plenty of fun for spouses/significant others and kids, too.

The game will start promptly at 10:30 a.m. and will be followed by a picnic provided by the Chapter.  This year, the DZAA will be selling t-shirts specifically for the event, and a pre-order form will be coming soon.  All Alumni who have paid their 2013 dues will receive a free t-shirt!

And lest you forget, during the picnic, we will be holding our first annual Rent-A-Chi auction to help raise money for the DZAA Housing Fund.

This is definitely going to be an event to be remembered, so don’t miss out!  For more information, check out the website at http://usfchiphialumni.com/events/scarlet-blue-classic-softball-game/

 

Alumni News – Ebner Buys a Home

No, it’s not the latest Dr. Seuss story.  It’s part of the American Dream – owning your own home.  There’s nothing more satisfying than coming home and knowing that the house you walk into is not just your home, but it’s YOUR home.  It’s not someone else’s property that you are merely renting – but it is completely YOURS!

Happy Homeowners

Brother David Ebner and his wife, Brittany, signed the final papers and closed on their house this past week.  Such an incredible way to celebrate their anniversary – closing on their new home and getting moved in to start a new chapter in their lives.

If you haven’t already done so, reach out and wish Brother Ebner and his wife congratulations!
