Amazing the things you find just sitting around on your hard drive. The video connected to the link above is from a 2005 ODL sponsored a wine and cheese event, led by Bro. John Jeter. It was nothing big…just a moment to socialize among the Brothers and a few friends. The Brothers of Psi Chapter and Pi Rho Chapter came thru to support. It’s a memory of times past and the large spirit of Fraternity that existed in the City. It also serves as reminder of the times yet to come and the bonds we need to continue to cultivate and expand.
I am hoping you will be able to join us as we Broaden the Bonds of Brotherhood on Founder’s Day in Philadelphia.
Brothers, I hope you have marked your calendars and set aside your funds to attend this Citywide Alpha Chapter event.
This year, the Chapters of Philadelphia have come together for our annual celebration of our fraternity. Omicron Delta Lambda Chapter is the host this year and we asked that all Brethren in the Philadelphia area come out and join us as we celebrate 103 years as the leaders of the Divine Nine, leading the way in our communities through service and love for all mankind...
Tickets are $50 for Alumni and $30 for College. If Brothers are willing to sponsor College brothers, please contact Bro. Kevin Spratley (215-313-8749). You can also contact him and Bro. Ryan McLeod (803.318.7586) for tickets. (No Tickets Purchased at the Door!)
