Phi Delta Theta (Mizzou)

G-Phi's Crescent Casino

We have been participating in the Gamma Phi's Crescent Casino Philanthropy all week.  Here is a quick explanation of what it is going on.

For Crescent Casino, the Gamma Phis turn their house into a huge "casino" for two nights! They invite Mizzou sororities and fraternities to participate. The first night is an all play, where participants can partake in anything from a friendly hand of poker with their professor to an intense game of darts.

The second night is like the "World Poker Tour" where they invite back the best of the best from the night before. The women of Gamma Phi Beta all have a specific "role" for these nights. Some women are hostesses, serving participants non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. They also have hostesses who guide each guest through the gaming process. There are judges, raffle coordinators, bankers, and even card dealers as G-Phis! Finally they put on a skit/dance to educate the participants on their beneficiary, Campfire USA.

Tri Delt Triple Play Update

The Tri Delt Triple Play took place on Wednesday night benefiting St. Jude's Childrens Hospital.  We were eliminated in the first round to Sig Ep in a much closer game then the 5-2 score indicated. 

While the umpires were attractive members of Tri Delt they did little to help our cause during the game.  Just kidding.

Bulletin: Tri Delt Triple Play All Week

Brothers . . . a reminder that we have Tri Delt Triple Play all week, including a game on Wednesday against the Sig Eps.  Everyone needs to contribute and attend all events this week (ask Mike for the schedule);  this includes singing at the serenade, helping with T-shirt sales, formal dinner and showing up for our game on Wednesday. 

The girls of Delta Delta Delta are doing a great thing for cancer research, and all of the proceeds go to help St. Jude's Children Hospital in Memphis.  Each spring, the Tri Delts go down to Memphis to experience their efforts first hand.  Here is a group of them visiting the kids at St. Jude last year.

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".

Phi Slamma Jamma in October

Mark your calendars for the second week of October.  Phi Slamma Jamma is returning to 101 East Burnam and we expect a strong showing this year.  For those of you not familiar, this is our annual sand volleyball tournament that benefits the ALS Association - St. Louis Chapter.

Please come by and show your support.  You don't have to play to contribute;  we are accepting any donation to help fight against this horrific disease.  It took down one of our most famous brothers long ago, but we will continue to fight in his honor until we reach the cure.

Hopefully you can make it;  but if you can't, please send your donations.  Make all checks to "ALS Association - St. Louis".  Send to 101 E. Burnam, Columbia, MO  65203 Attn - Steve Tarpley.  We will keep posting reminders as the tournament draws nearer.  Thanks for your support.
