The Return
A casual Friday night with food, conversation and a decade roll call so Brothers can reconnect without a formal program.

The initial discovery call has concluded. Planning continues.

On the table for feedback.

A casual Friday night with food, conversation and a decade roll call so Brothers can reconnect without a formal program.
A morning service project followed by time for Brothers across generations to share stories and reflect on Xi Iota’s history.
A Saturday cookout for Brothers, spouses, partners and children—with food, music and room to spend time together.
UCF Homecoming · Fall 2029
The larger concept is timed to UCF Homecoming and could welcome Brothers, families, friends and invited guests.
The proposed scholarship gala is the signature event of the fiftieth year. See the vision.
One idea under consideration is a formal Homecoming evening celebrating five decades of Brotherhood and presenting scholarships, with opportunities for Brothers, Lines, families and businesses to help fund those awards.
Still to be shaped: Brothers would help determine the concept, format, fundraising purpose and guest experience. Work is underway to establish an independent alumni association to support this effort. Scholarship criteria, administration and sponsorship opportunities would be developed and approved before fundraising begins. No scholarship awards or sponsorship packages are confirmed, and no contributions are being accepted at this stage.
A Saturday gathering before the UCF Homecoming game for Brothers, families, friends and invited supporters.
A relaxed Sunday closeout with fellowship and an update on the work planned beyond the anniversary.

Some ideas could stand alone; others could become part of the cookout, scholarship gala or brunch.
Tell us which would make the trip worthwhile.
A guided return to meaningful UCF landmarks, enriched by stories from Brothers across the decades.
A closed conversation about mentorship, stewardship and what the next fifty years should build.
Coordinated portraits, roll calls and dedicated space for lines and eras to reconnect.
A dignified remembrance of Brothers who have entered Omega Chapter.
An optional pre-weekend outing for Brothers seeking additional time together.
