Fifty Years.One Golden Legacy.

Brothers initiated through the Xi Iota Chapter are coming together to decide how we mark fifty years since June 16, 1979. The initial discovery call has concluded, and the planning effort now moves into its next phase. Brothers can still share priorities and indicate where they would like to help.

Why we gather

The legacy is still being written.

Before we book venues or build a budget, we need to hear from the Brothers this celebration is for.

We want to know who plans to return, what would make the trip worthwhile, which traditions should be included and who is willing to work. This is not an RSVP or ticket sale. It is where the planning conversation continues.

The work behind the celebration

A vision with
a plan behind it.

We have developed a starting framework with two possible anchors: a smaller Charter Day gathering in June and a larger reunion during UCF Homecoming.

It is something concrete for Brothers to respond to—not a schedule already decided. Interest, priorities and willingness to help will determine the budget, committees and experiences that move forward.

Work is also underway to establish an independent alumni association to support the proposed scholarship effort. Scholarship criteria, administration and sponsorship opportunities would be developed and approved before fundraising begins. No contributions are being accepted at this stage.
