This is the first home tailgate.   We know many of you will be in town… please join us on Saturday for the Marshall tailgate!

The active chapter is hosting the event this week to help you rekindle old friendships with familiar faces. Kickoff is at 1:30 pm, so we’ll start at 10:30am.

The actives are using the tailgate as a rush function to attract new members and as such we are looking for a large alumni turnout to help demonstrate the strength of the brotherhood and friendships that last for many years past our undergraduate days.

As always (second year in a row at least!), our location is Lot 4, Space 94, located across Spring Drive from the football stadium and just down from the softball field. We’re in the corner, with one side facing Southgate Drive and the other side backing up to the track. See you there.

The Nebraska game is the next week and Alumni Bob Dreelin (Spring ‘71) and Buzz Wainman (Fall ‘74) have graciously offered to be the organizing hosts for the event.  A 3:30 pm kickoff means we will be going by noon with tailgate.  This game is expected to be the largest crowd of the season.

We are starting the tailgate season in Atlanta for the VT-Alabama game. Bob Snyder has scoped the area and we have settled on meeting at the STATS Food Play Sports Bar & Grill.

All area restaurants and bars are expected to be packed and private function rooms were either unavailable or exorbitantly expensive, so we decided that a designated pre-game to the pre-game meeting point location lunch/drinks was the best alternative.

Look for the DKE/DKS tap table gathering and check at front door for location.  A few brave hearted Dekes have volunteered to get there around noon to secure a tap table or two.  Show up anytime on Saturday September 5th, between 12:00pm and 3:00pm and ask for the Deke table and we should be present.

The location is 300 Marietta Street approximate 3-4 blocks from the Georgia Dome Stadium.  Maps and restaurant information can be found on following website: www.statsatl.com

With regrets we pass on word that Charles Herbert Marshall III passed away in Maryland in May. “Doc” Marshall was a Deke from the Phi chapter at Yale (where he was NFL star Calvin Hill’s big brother!) who came to Virginia Tech as a graduate student in 1976. Doc will be remembered from his VT days for shattering the color barrier at the Sigma Alpha chapter and bringing disco dancing to the Deke basement. DKE became a better place because of Doc’s presence, although graciously the disco music was banned from most DKE parties saving embarrassment for all of us born with two left feet. Our hearts and thoughts go to the family and friends of our brother.
