October 22nd - 24th

Our Actives are excited about Homecoming this year! It's a chance to show off some of the ongoing projects around the house and to bond with alumni during the weekend festivities. The Homecoming game will be the Nitany Lions versus the Iowa Hawkeyes in a Big Ten Conference match-up. The kick-off time is still to be determined. It will be great time to renew old friendships and make new ones.

The Phi's are teamed with the Theta Alpha Pi sorority this year and their theme is Cereal Characters. They have been holding numerous meetings in the new Phi Board Room to plot their winning strategy for this year. In 2002, the Phi Delts were 2nd overall in the homecoming competition - missing 1st by 6/10 of a point. They came in 3rd in 2003 with a 4th place overall finish. They won 3rd in the float competition and were 2nd in the mad hatter competition. This year, they plan on winning homecoming! Be at the house on Friday evening to welcome the float back to the house at the end of the parade!

Friday
Open House
All Afternoon
and Evening
Stop by in the afternoon and watch the guys put the finishing touches on the float. Be sure to be there at the end of the parade, about 8:00pm, when the guys pull the float into the front yard. Friends and family welcome all day! Just don't expect too much chatting from the actives - they are going to be putting finishing touches on the float until the last minute!

We cannot emphasize enough how critical this meeting is. This is your chance to get involved, support the actives, and help chart the course of our fraternity. Committees will be formed and critical decisions will be made concerning the future of Pennsylvania Theta. Friends and family are welcome and encouraged to attend; however, only alumni can vote.

Breakfast will be served from 9:00am - 10:00pm. The meeting starts at 10:00am.

Please note that the meeting is on Sunday morning this year instead of Saturday morning as it has been in the past.

Come celebrate the last 100 years, and help us build the blueprint for the next 100!

Please help, do you have any room available for the weekend?

It's critical to get as many alumni as possible back to the house this Homecoming. But as we all know, many alumni don't return because they can't find a place to stay. If you live in or near State College and have any room available for the weekend, please use the form below to let us know.
