Dear Brothers,
It is my pleasure to write you in anticipation of the 2017 Homecoming festivities at the Psi Upsilon chapter house. We hope that all brothers, family members, and guests will join us at the curved house for the annual celebration.
The Homecoming itinerary will kick off on Friday, October 27, at 3:34 pm with our happy hour at Murphy’s Pub. Following Murphy’s Pub, please join us at the house, taking tours of where you made lifelong memories with lifelong friends. Saturday morning will feature the traditional complementary breakfast followed by the fall Alumni meeting. At 11:00 am our Fighting Illini will face off against the Wisconsin Badgers. A block of tickets is available, please see information below. After the game, we will have the awards ceremony, take the group photo, and enjoy a complementary BBQ dinner. If you need a place to stay, a block of rooms is available at the Hawthorne Suites. We hope you take advantage of this time to catch up with old friends, meet some new ones, converse with our great undergraduates, and meet the pledges of the Class of 2021. This year is a celebration of the pledge classes ending in 7s (1917 - 2007.5), so come one, come all to enjoy the festivities. More schedule information is on the back of this page.
While all are welcome to come celebrate throughout the weekend, we have to limit complementary food and drink to members who have paid their annual dues and their guests. Annual dues may be paid using the attached form or by using donation envelopes available at the door during the festivities. Football tickets are offered at cost plus a modest payment processing fee, therefore their purchase does not count towards annual dues.
Should there be any additional questions, please feel free to contact me via phone, text, or email. Head to Champaign for a good game, great friends, and prove you’ll ne’er forget the days of Auld Lang Syne.
Go Illini and Yours in the Bonds,
Mark Tallungan ‘00
