Phi Delt B-Ball Team Shows No Mercy

This is a video taken tuesday at our A-Team intramural basketball game.  We played (if you call what they did playing) Sigma Tau Gamma.  These are some highlights from the short game; there is a rule in basketball intramurals in which they call the game early if you are winning by thirty points.  This is the third game the past week that we have won by thirty points.

Intramurals Off to a Great Start

Intramural basketball has begun for all fraternities and sororities as the second semester is underway.  Our A squad beat Delta Sigma Phi Tuesday night in a route where the game was called at 41-11 because of the 30 point mercy rule.  The B squad has followed in their footsteps with a similar perfromance on Thursday afternoon by defeating Kappa Sig 43-13 in another mercy rule victory.  Both squads will enter next week with great momentum as they look forward for their matchups against ATO in two weeks.  Keep coming back to read more basketball updates and see more pictures (coming soon). 

Soccer intramurals will be coming up at the conclusion of basketball season.

Phi Delta Theta Splits with Kappa Sigma in Must-Win Games

Congratulations to the football team for their thrilling, come from behind victory over Kappa Sigma on Wednesday, 19-18.  Adam Hood caught the go-ahead touchdown pass from Craig Hays with under a minute left to put the team into the playoffs with a record of 2-2.

On Thursday, the Kap Sig softball team got revenge by beating Phi Delta Theta, 24-21, in an offensive battle.  The painful loss will prevent Phi Delt from going to the playoffs.

Intramural Update: Softball Dominated! Football Not So Good.

The Intramural "A squads" evened up their seasons with a win in Softball and a loss in Football this week.  Let's start with the Bad News first.

The Bad News:

After punishing the SAEs last week, the "A" Football squad was humbled with a 15-0 loss to Delta Sigma Phi.  Although the game was close most of the contest, the boys never seemed to find their groove.  The speed of Delta Sigma Phi seemed to be too much to handle for the defense.  The Loss drops the team to (1-1) for the season.

Now for the Good News:

The "A" Softball team hammered the Kappa Alpha 13-0, which is rare in slow pitch.  Quinn McAleenan pitched a shut out for the Phi Dlets, and everyone on the team contributed to the winning effort.

"It was nothing but good rhythm out there tonight" said McAleenan.  "I was sort of in a grove that you don't find too often in Softball.  I am just glad we had the offense to compliment the effort."

The victory improved the Phi Delt A Squad to (1-1) for the season.

"B" Squad teams play on Sunday.  We will keep you posted. 

Anchor Splash Finale Sunday

Brothers, thanks for showing up to the serenade last night for the DG's anchor splash.  Although some of us were out of tune, I think it still went over pretty well.

I know we have been busy with events all week, but I wanted to send out a quick reminder . . .

All of the competitions (Big Splash, Relays, Synchronized Swimming, etc) will begin on Sunday at the Rec Center, so everyone must be there in attendance.  Ask Mike for the specific times of each event, and when you need to be there.  Those of you competing, I am sure you know your schedules, if not, figure them out.

Also, Tony Molina is our candidate for King and will be participating in the Beauty pageant.  I am not sure if he has to wear a dress or not; but dudes and beauty pageants usually don't mix, so it should be pretty funny to watch (Somebody bring a camera just in case).

In case you didn't know, this is all for a good cause and will benefit the "Aid to the Blind and Sight Conservation".

Bulletin: Intramural Update

Brothers,

This week we have two Intramural contests, in which we need to show up and support.

On Wednesday, we have a flag football game at 7 PM (at Stankowsky).  We are coming off of a strong victory last week against the SAE's (15-6), and need to carry over the momentum to Wednesday night.  If you do not have class, are working, or are invovled in a study group;  you should be on the sidelines cheering.  We will start addressing actives with very little participation at these events, so be there.

Also, this week we have a softball game on Thrusday at 5 PM.  Ask Jeff to find out the details of which field.  Again, unless you are busy with academics or work . . . show up and offer your support.  All Alumni are welcome to show as well.  Thanks.

Intramurals Kicking into High Gear

Brothers.  Remember that intramurals are starting up and we need support from everyone in the house.  If you are not on any of the teams (and don't have academic obligations) you need to be in the stands showing your support.  Bring your girlfriends, friends, family, etc.  The more the merrier.  We need big numbers to go out and support our brothers which are playing.  To be the best we need to act like the best. 

Stay tuned to the Phi Delt Channel for a complete schedule      and roster of all the teams and players.  Let's go out and kick some butt this year and bring home some championships.
