Brotherly Gatherings and Homecoming

Randy Plank, August 2019

Last November, 25 Theta-Xi Brothers from the 1972-76 era at TSU gathered in Birmingham, AL for a weekend to rally around Mike ("Bear") Kolbus who is working through some health issues. That gathering was called the "Bear Hug" and was thoroughly enjoyed by the attendees, most of whom had not seen each other for more than 30 years. It was amazing how the old house personas, trash talk, and stories magically and instantly came back to life.

Our Brotherly bonds and relationships are really something special. This fall, there will be another rally event at the house for Dave ("Doc") Stewart. This gathering is called "Doc's House Call" and will coincide with Trine's Homecoming weekend October 4 - 6. Below is the agenda for Doc's House Call and some hyperlinks to get more information and to register with TU. It is sure to be another fun and rewarding gathering with many Brotherly bonds rekindled and stories and laughs shared with Doc. Hope to see you at Doc's House Call! All alums and actives welcome!

* Attendance at the Touchstone Dinner is a fun opportunity to socialize with TU Board Trustees (many of whom are our loyal Kappa Sigma Brothers), with TU Administration honcho's, and with returning Brothers and other Alumni. The after Dinner program showcases the school's progress and future plans, and recognizes outstanding achievement and generosity in support of TU. No charge at all for attendance (open bar!), but you must register for the Dinner on TU's Homecoming website. The fraternity with most registered Touchstone Dinner attendees wins the annual Homecoming Cup. Dinner dress is semi-formal / sport coat. We're encouraging all our Theta-Xi Alums returning for Doc's House Call to register on TU's website for Homecoming and for the Touchstone Dinner, then at least go and enjoy the lively Touchstone happy hour and delicious free dinner - program optional.

Kappa Sigma Takes the Sig Cup This Year!

 

Shawn Floyd and Mark Davenport, August 15, 2019

 

Sig Cup has become one of the most important weekends of the year. Getting to spend time with brother’s that you see only a few times a year (or less), playing two great golf courses, and most importantly, raising money for undergraduate brothers are all important. This year was no different.

 

 

Kappa Sigma was determined to right the ship this year and bring the cup home, and we battled hard. After day 1, Kappa Sigma had built a nice lead, with the Alpha Sig’s trailing 15-6. Kappa Sigma just needed to hang on at Glendarin Hills Golf Course on day 2, which we knew would be difficult. With Alpha Sig charging, Kappa Sig’s clinched the last match needed to win the cup, winning 31.5 to Alpha Sig’s 21.5. A great 2 days of golf, weather, and comradery.

 

 

Overall, there were around 50 brothers total that attended from both fraternities. Kappa Sigma raised a total of $3,300 this year towards undergraduate scholarships, and our goal for next year is to increase this amount. In total, over the 14 years of organizing the Sig Cup, we have raised almost $60,000 for deserving undergraduate brothers. If you have any interest in playing next year or donating to the scholarship fund, you can contact Shawn Floyd, who coordinates this event each year. His email is spfloyd@live.com.
