Brothers and alumni joined together for a fine            Field Day 2016
       afternoon of grilling and sports at the beautiful
       field by the river at Island Ford Park. There
was a brother-alumni football game, a softball game,
and of course plenty of camaraderie. Almost the
entire chapter showed up to show the alumni present
a good time and celebrate the seniors. We hope to
make this a yearly or perhaps even semesterly
tradition and hope to see you there next time!
