Delta Chi Kickball

On the weekend of October 18th-19th , Brothers in Phi Sigma Pi from all over the East Coast came to Lehigh University to take part of Delta Chi Kickball. A bulk of the bros from Lehigh’s chapter along with bros from Villanova, East Carolina, and East Stoudsburg met on Friday night and got ready for the Frat Star- themed weekend by watching Animal House. Early Saturday morning, all the bros met on the grassy fields, ready for some competitive kickball. They were split into four teams: Luau, Mardi Gras, Team America, and Tight and Bright and pitted against each other in a round-robin tournament. The day was long, the catered lunch was good, and after 2 games each, Team Luau stood on top. Everyone decided that instead of a playoff round, that there should be one large game pitting Lehigh’s ICR chairs and event organizers, Kristen Schmidt and myself, against one another as captains. It was a close and competitive game, but Kristen’s team won it all with an 8th inning rally that broke the long-standing tie. Though kickball had ended, Delta Chi’s event had not quite ended. The PSP brothers bussed over to Revolutions, an adult arcade place, to have some fun. The brothers enjoyed bowling, pizza, and tons of arcade games for hours until the night’s end. Thus the weekend was over but the memories for those who attended will last a lifetime. Coming from a brother who helped plan this, Delta Chi Kickball was a great success even though we had a lower turnout than expected since it made me feel part of a bigger and yet just as inclusive brotherhood than the one I have in Delta Chi. I really got a sense of what being a national fraternity was all about, and no matter where a Brother was from, Lehigh brothers treated them just the same as they would their own brother.

Ad Hoc

Ad Hoc! What a wonderful event that was! Ad Hoc took place on Friday October 24th at Raub’s Farm Market in Easton, PA. The event started with brothers purchasing apple cider and caramel apples! What a delightful snack before the three hour journey that awaits. After the snacks were consumed, brothers decided to start their journey through the extremely large corn maze. The corn maze consisted of 10 different location points that were almost impossible to find. Fortunately, brothers of the Delta Chi Chapter were triumphant in finding almost all of the locations thanks to the great communication and teamwork skills demonstrated by all brothers in attendance. All in all, the caramel apples, the strange looking pumpkins, and the corn, we had a wonderful time fulfilling the tripod PSP embodies.
