Address Service Requested
ATTENTION: This newsletter is intended for alumni and parents. If your son has graduated,
please send us his permanent address to update our records. Thank you.
Help us celebrate 90+1 years
on October 2, 2021, as the
Boilermakers take
on Minnesota.
After COVID-19 caused the cancellation of
our 90th reunion last fall, we plan to return to
the chapter house this fall with full reunion
activities to celebrate 90+1 years of Phi Sigma
Kappa on the Purdue campus. Purdue President
Mitch Daniels is committed to a full in-person
academic schedule and alumni events in the
fall of 2021, while Protect Purdue protocols
for mask wearing and cleaning will still be in
place. Delta Triton alumni are planning for a
full day with a catered lunch, alumni annual
meeting, house tours, and a Boilermaker
football win.
Clark Ahrens '66 has volunteered to manage
the football ticket block. Arrange your schedule
now so you can be on campus for the 90+1
celebration and Homecoming activities. Event
information and ticket details will be sent
out as soon as we have it available. If you
have a Homecoming suggestion, send it to
alumni@302waldron.org.
We hope to see you this fall!
SAVE THE
DATE!
