Class of 1978 to Celebrate

The Delta Phi class of 1978 will celebrate its 30th reUnion beginning on May 30th. Plan to join them to help them celebrate. Members of the Class of 1977 will be there in force. Confirmed attendees from the Class of '77 include: Jim Felix, Mark Bodenstab, Bill Glavin, and Les Trachtman. Also confirmed from the class of 1978 are: The Right Reverend Robert Moyer, Tom Howell, Jeff Laniewski, Jed Kanner, and I am sure a host of others whom we have not yet heard from. We will kick off the celebration with a round of golf on Friday and then continue from there. Let us know if you plan to attend.

Class of '80

This note came in from Chuck Hart...

Les, just stumbled over your website deltaphi2007.blogspot.com, greats pics and memories. Thanks for creating it. I noticed a couple of pics from the class of 80. Not sure if you were concerned about expanding this site to other classes but I have included some pics from the class of 80 if you want to add any of them to your site. The composite is not the greatest quality but it good enough to read the names.


Sorry - I wasn't able to upload the composite for some reason!

Funnelating Rises Again!

No, that was not a mirage. Students of the class of 2007 saw something that hasn't been seen on the Union campus since the '70's. Substituting fresh fruit for water balloons, these projectiles were seen orbiting the campus several weeks ago. Rumour has it that the new "pledges" were up to the task of supplying the fruit!

New Pledge Class?

Will the Alpha Chapter at Delta Phi rise again? It will if five freshman at Union have their way. The attended the dedication of the chapter house memorial ceremony along with the President of the national. So we will have to stay tuned to Fall 2007 to see if we in fact do pledge a new class.

Delta Phi House Memorial Dedicated

On Friday evening, the Delta Phi Memorial was dedicated and unveiled. Over 100 people participated in the ceremony (and even more attended the reception that followed). While the occasion was somewhat bittersweet, the brothers of Delta Phi Fraternity at Union now at least have a place to once again call their own.

Over the next few days and weeks, we'll post photos from the celebration. If you have photos that you'd like to contribute, please send them to trachtmanl@aol.com.
