The Actives and Penn State Cheerleaders Rob Leo '09, Todd Leo '09 (not pictured) and Chris Moss '10 welcome you back to Penn State and PA Theta

Please Join Us for Homecoming 2007!

Come See Our Progress First-Hand and Support PA Theta!

Homecoming is a time for reunion. A time for tailgating. A time to watch your Nittany Lions fight on towards greatness.

But it's also a time to return to your roots. A time to return to Phi Delt, where many of us formed unforgettable memories, learned valuable lessons, and developed into men. So please join us, reminiscing of years past, and anticipating and learning about the great things that are soon to come.

Thanks to Rob, Todd, and Chris, we had a special visitor Friday evening during Blue/White Weekend last April

Friday Afternoon & Evening

Open House w/ Snacks

Stop by in the afternoon and watch the guys put the finishing touches on our float. Then hang out in the front yard and watch the parade go by. Be sure to be there about 8:00pm when the guys pull the float onto the front lawn at the end of the parade. Friends and families are welcome all day! Dress: casual, float-finishing-parade-watching attire is fine.

Our Active Management Team warming-up for the Blue-White '06 Stockholders Meeting

Sunday Morning
Stockholders Meeting

8:30am Lite Breakfast & Coffee
9:00am Stockholders Meeting
11:00am Alumni Corp Meeting

Location: In the Cybertorium of the IST Building adjacent to our property

On Saturday morning of Homecoming weekend, the Actives of most other fraternities at Penn State will be busy doing what our Actives typically did on this day - sleep through their chapter's Alumni Corporation Meeting.

In very sharp contrast, the Actives of the new Pennsylvania Theta along with their recent graduate advisors and mentors will be preparing for one of the most important events of their college careers - the Homecoming 2007 Stockholders Meeting

At our Homecoming '05 Stockholders Meeting, our Co-Rush Chairmen Paul Silber '06, Mike Bernabe '07, and Guy Bacco '07 present their Rush Program that netted a record 20 new Freshmen Pledges and set the bar for all future Rush Programs

This is their day to shine. In the last 3 years, our Actives have done what everyone said was impossible and saved our fraternity - and they can't wait to tell you about it. They will be presenting the State of PA Theta covering all aspects of our chapter including a complete financial report of all our organizations.

Randy Thompson '83 and Bill Overlock '63 meet with the Actives to review their Blue/White '06 Stockholders presentation

Sandy Deveney '70, Bud Thomas '49 and the gang outside the Cybertorium just prior to the start of the Blue/White '06 Stockholders Meeting

They will also be presenting their plan for the remaining 2 years of our 5-year Return to Glory Campaign to ensure we emerge as the top Fraternity on the Penn State campus with a comprehensive Chapter Management Plan in place to keep us there!

But wait, there's more...

Our Actives need and deserve your support. If at all possible, please attend the Stockholders Meeting Sunday morning. It will mean a lot to our Actives, they've been preparing for this day for 3 years.

Our Stockholders Meetings are now part of our culture and a key component of our new Chapter Management Plan. Just by attending one meeting, you will know exactly how our chapter is doing. Our Actives want and need your knowledge, expertise, support and input. Alumni attendance is critical for our continued success - please join us if at all possible.

Meeting Location and a little History...

The new IST Building sits directly adjacent to our House. It's designed to be the future center-point of campus as the campus expands westward, making our property the most valuable property on the entire Penn State Campus

If you haven't been back to Penn Sate for a while, one of the first things that will shock you is the brand new IST (Information Sciences and Technology) building that sits directly adjacent to our property. The IST building is designed to be the center point of the Penn State campus and is why our property is so valuable - now one of the most, if not the most valuable property on the Penn State Campus.

Vice President Elliott Skrinjar '05 performs a systems test during a dry-run of our Homecoming '04 presentation

Just prior to Homecoming '04, Alumni Corporation President, Randy Thompson '83, asked Active Chapter Vice President, Elliott Skrinjar '05 to locate a screen and projector for the planned Homecoming Alumni Corporation presentation. Elliott, an IST major, had just listened to a presentation by Michael Dell in the brand new, sate-of-the-art Cybertorium in the IST Building. Elliott thought this new high-tech venue might be a great location for our meetings and pitched the idea to his professor, Dr. Gerry Santoro. As it turns out, Dr. Santoro (a Penn State alum) was very familiar with our situation and gladly volunteered the Cybertorium for our meeting, stating something to the effect: “I was really happy that you guys were able to keep your house. I remember when I was in college and would come over to the Phi Delt house. I always had a great time over there.”

Thanks Dr. Santoro and Penn State!
