The Xi Iota chapter hosted their 40th Anniversary Formal at the Rosen Plaza hotel on December 3rd. All in all, there were 145 attendees and had a mix of about 60% actives and 40% alumni. The event was planned by active Formal Chair Marco Fanelli and chapter alumni David Cerbone who deserves a lot of credit for the large alumni turnout. The chapter gave out their usual awards seeing Jonathon Castro as the new Top Teke, Rachel Cole of Alpha Xi Delta as the new sweetheart and Brian Wurme as alumni of the year. A new award, Outstanding Alumni Charity was awarded to Will Cheung. Spring 2011 initiate Christopher Fernandez walked out of the dinner with a clean sweep, winning all three awards he was nominated for. The event was greatly successful and a great time was had by all. Please feel free to contact our Histor, John Belba, for information regarding future events at histor@tkeucf.com
Red Carnation Ball 40th Anniversary
Done with Rush, Go-Cart time!
This Fall 2011, TKE Xi-Iota chapter got 28 guys at rush! Thanks to the leadership and organization of the Rush Chairman, Jonathan Castro. Now that rush is over, the new member period will begin and they will be on their journey to join the other 252,000 teke brothers around the world! Following that, on September 28th 2011, Xi-Iota celebrated its success at rush and always strengthening brotherhood by going go-carting at Lil’ 500. Though slightly wet and rainy, the brothers had a great time racing and sliding all over the track. Vince Keating and Tyler Swonger came out on top as the best drivers of the night, congratulations to them! It was a great time as always having fun with the brothers and we are looking forward to our next brotherhood event!
