Funding, photos, and more

I met this past week with the Ridgely Harrison who is heading up College Relations for our reUnion. Everything is falling into place. Shortly, you will be receiving a letter from us asking for your participation in funding the memorial to the Delta Phi house. In return, anyone who donates $100 or more will receive a great looking vintage print of the house suitable for framing. Of course, any donation (made payable to Union College with specific directions to attribute it to the memorial) would be welcome. We need to raise at least $5,000 to construct the memorial.

I'd also like to start accumulating photos that we can digitize and use for a presentation at the event. If you have a photo that you can digitize and send to me (or we can digitize and return to you) let me know. I have several of my own, including a photo that I have to dig out somewhere of my son (at age 5) standing in front of the boarded up Chapter House (sigh!). I've also posted a few to this page and will post more as they come in.

You can reach me at trachtmanl@aol.com. Start those cards and letters coming!

You are invited!

You are invited to join with the brothers of the Delta Phi Fraternity - Alpha Chapter, to celebrate our reUnion this spring and to take part in a dedication of a memorial to the chapter house that no longer stands on the Union College campus. Many brothers, their families, and friends of Delta Phi will be gathering and celebrating this event with us this spring. Don't miss out.

Please leave a comment when you visit this site with your name, and your year of graduation, and let us know if you will be attending this spring. We look forward to seeing you.
