Event Calendar
Homecoming
he date for Cal Poly's Homecoming changes every year and isn't known and posted until a few months prior to the event. This is because the date is dependent on the development of the Mustang's Division II football schedule in coordination with other colleges. In 2009, Homecoming was October 17th.
Cal Poly offers an on-campus BBQ on the Business lawn before the game and also recognizes the 50 year anniversary of graduates. Get more information through the Cal Poly Alumni Association link on the home page, or go to the homecoming-specific site: www.homecoming.calpoly.edu.
For 2010, Open House (Poly Royal) will be held the weekend of April 17th.
The Active Chapter has decided to add an event this year that will be held on Friday night, the day before Carnation Ball. Instead of meeting at Vallarta’s Mexican Restaurant like in years past, the Active Chapter invites all Alumni and wives to join us at a Main House BBQ. The BBQ will be a time for Actives and Alumni to catch up and share stories, while in the comfort of our own home.
We once again look forward to hosting this weekend and truly hope that all of our Alumni, young and old alike, decide to join us. If you have any questions please contact Solomon “Ruby” Reda, Active Chapter Social, at (714) 767-7614 or redasolomon@gmail.com.
Open House Weekend – BBQ and Carnation Ball
Friday, April 16th, 2010
Chapter House BBQ, 6-8 PM, $10 per person
This is an opportunity for Actives and Alumni to socialize, tell stories, and view new renovations to the House. We will also be selling Delta Sig Polo Shirts and Memorabilia Bricks at the BBQ.
Saturday, April 17th, 2010
Carnation Ball: cocktails 6-7 PM, dinner 7-8 PM, presentations 8-8:45 PM, and dancing 8:45-10 PM. Dinner is $120 couple and $60 single. The post-dinner cover charge is $20 per person at the door.
Payments can be made in one of two ways: electronically or by check. We prefer you pay on-line through the link https://www.omegafi.com/MWQOFG.
You can also pay-by-check. Make your check payable to Delta Sigma Phi, note “Carnation” on the memo line, and send it to Solomon “Ruby” Reda, 244 California Blvd., San Luis Obispo, CA 93401.
The pre-payment deadline is April 4th. Depending on the number, we hope to be able to accommodate alumni who sign-up late. However, pre-payment guarantees your reservation and helps us better plan Carnation Ball.
Many alumni regularly arrive on Thursday to get in more golf. On Friday there is an active-alumni tournament. Friday and Saturday the chapter is open for tours. Saturday morning, usually at 9 am at the House, our Spring ACB meeting is held. Saturday evening is Carnation Ball and alums are invited.
