Thanks for the memories! Phi-Tau turns 25!!
Thank you to all of the brothers that attended the 25th anniversary. It was a great evening of Brotherhood highlighted by the speech of Founding Brother Ed Gillman. The event was truly worth the trip! Congratulations to the Newly Initiated Brother's. It was great to have our youngest members present on such a special evening.

As some of you may or may not know, I have decided to step down as Alumni Corporation President. The last 10 years of brotherhood have given me the opportunity to meet and talk with a great number of you. I truly relish this experience. I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank the entire brotherhood for their hard work and dedication over the past 10 years. We truly have a special chapter and I have been honored to represent the brotherhood.
