Homecoming Kicks Off 150th Anniversary
Besides celebrating our 150 years on the Hill, the weekend will include very special tributes to three very special DUs: Nelson Schaenen ’50, Anthony Cashen ’57 and Robert Verna ’68. Along with Bert Antell ’28, these three make up the Pantheon of DUs, brothers who since 1950 have served the chapter with distinction, dedication and generosity. Join us at Saturday’s reception when plaques will be unveiled. Register here. [link]
