Narrative when you connect with Frater
I am calling to connect with you one-on-one and personally let you know what’s in store for TKE Delta-Nu in 2024.
We’re excited about this year. TKE International is celebrating 125 years…and Delta-Nu is celebrating 70 years of being a chapter at Northwest. (Founded in 1954)
There are 2 major alumni events the Alumni Association is hosting:
- Homecoming on October 19th (TKE Chapter is dialing up homecoming activities this year)
- And the one I want to be sure you know about is the 70th Anniversary Celebration that will be held during the annual Delta-Nu Alumni Weekend & Memorial Golf Tournament at the end of May.
Have you attended the Alumni Golf Tournament before?
• IF YES – When was the last year you were there?
Do you play golf?
• IF YES – Oh nice! Every year, the golf outing gets a little bit bigger and little bit better.
• IF NO – Well the good news is that the Alumni Weekend and has become much more than just a golf tournament. This year during golf, we’re setting up a “Heckling Hole” for non-golfers to gather, socialize, and give the golfers hell when they come through. So even if you don’t play, it’ll be one heck of a good time!
For this year’s Alumni Weekend, we will get things started on Thursday, with the main events on Friday (golf + TKE House Party) and Saturday to celebrate 70 years of TKE. Fraters from all eras [especially ours] are coming into town (Maryville) to gather throughout the weekend. [Insert names of key fraters you’ve recruited.]
Here’s the schedule and event lineup:
• The Johnny U “warm up” golf tournament is on Thursday at 1:15 pm
• The Memorial Golf tournament is on Friday, May 31 at Mozingo Lake Golf Course. A casual welcome dinner will follow.
• Then there’s a “House Party” scheduled for Friday night at the TKE House. It’s BYOB.
• On Saturday, June 1, we’ll be at the TKE House for a Backyard BBQ and Bags Tournament – food, games, music, etc. to give everyone a chance to catch up and reminisce about stories of “back in your day”.
• Saturday night, we have the 70th Anniversary Celebration Banquet, which will be on campus at the Student Union Grand Ballroom. There will be a cocktail hour, dinner, a few guest speakers…AND we’ll also host the 2024 TKE Triangle Awards, which recognizes outstanding alumni. Oh, and a live auction fundraiser for the TKE Education Scholarship Fund.
Were you at the 50th or 60th Anniversary Celebrations?
IF YES: Great! We’re gonna capture that same magic, and add a few twists.
IF NO: Well, this is one of the best events we hold as alumni, so you should definitely make a point to attend.
Your spouse or significant other is welcome to join!
Besides joining for the TKE House Party, Saturday BBQ and 70th Banquet, we have a Friday Night Winery trip set up at a new winery in Maryville. And on Saturday morning you and they can take a walking tour of the Northwest campus. There are so many new additions over the years that will certainly be worth seeing!
As you can see, there is a full weekend of events scheduled, so your trip to the ‘Ville will be worth it. We have several accommodations options for you to choose from:
• We’ve blocked rooms at Cobblestone out at Mozingo; the Holiday Inn, and other hotels. You should call now to reserve a room.
• You have the opportunity to stay on campus in the Perrin Hall Dorm for only $30/night, which is within walking distance to the TKE House and the 70th Banquet at the Student Union. Reservations can be made when you register and pay for the weekend.
• Or you can claim a room at the TKE House for only $100 and be in the middle of the action throughout the weekend.
We got you covered with plenty of sleeping options!
I know this was a lot of information, but rest assured, I’m going to follow up with you with an email with these details.
I’m excited we had a chance to connect! Registration will be opening up soon, so be on the lookout for my follow-up, and other communications from TKE Delta-Nu.
Registration cut-off is May 1. So be sure to get registered this month while it’s top-of-mind. After May 1, we aren’t able to add anyone to the banquet or stay in Perrin Hall.
