Reception at the Chapter House

Join us to "meet and greet" with friends both old and new, and prepare for the big game. Kick-off Homecoming Weekend with your Brothers at our NEW Chapter House at #2 Fraternity Row. Tour our new home, meet the active members and enjoy a “family-friendly” event before the big game. Light refreshments will be available, but University regulations preclude alcohol at this event. After this event, alumni will head off to their favorite “watering holes” for tall tales and memories.

Before the Game

Alumni Tailgate

The Eta Alumni Association will gather for our 3rd Annual Tailgate to be held in Lot 1. Typically we will begin three hours before the announced game time, but be sure to RSVP so you have the latebreaking news. Alumni, family and friends are welcome to take part in this Alumni Ritual and also meet the new Brothers of the Eta Chapter. Suggested attire is “Come as You Are.” If you would like to attend, please email us at alumni@psk-eta.com with your contact information (including cell phone number), the number in your party, and we will provide you with location details and put you in touch with the Tailgate Coordinator.
