Major Social Events

Brotherhoods
These are social events for fraternity members only. It gives us a chance to celebrate what a fine house we have, and it enables us to congregate as a brotherhood. Events range from a simple night of poker to Christmas Brotherhood. Any volunteers to be Santa?

Cocktail Dance
This is a semi-formal date function in which members will be introduced to a style of dance that is most likely new to them. It is intended to have somewhat of a high class atmosphere. The event, which was first held in 2001, was quite a success.

Dinner
Yes, dinner at DU is a social event. It is a time to eat with others, and to talk about the day’s events. We eat together much as a family, building brotherhood while enjoying delicious home cooking.

Exchanges
These events are a chance for us to meet the women of the Greek System. We will participate in various social events with sororities, ranging from hockey games to scavenger hunts.

Founder’s Day
This is a formal banquet held each year on November 4~ with our alumni. Members are required to attend. It is the celebration of the founding of our Fraternity, and members are asked to invite their fathers. This is a great time for your fathers to get involved with the Fraternity and its activities. It is also a chance for the alumni to meet the newest pledge class.
