Alumni and undergraduate brothers of Pennsylvania Eta gathered on the campus of Pennsylvania State University in May 2015 to celebrate the chapter’s 100th year. Around 175 alumni and guests attended the event, a historic occasion for a chapter that has been continuously operating since 1915.

After a Ritual meeting, brothers were joined by guests for a round of golf and attended a banquet featuring speeches from chapter, Fraternity and university officials. Jay Paterno, former Penn State football coach; Roy Baker, director of Greek life at the university; and Past Grand President Steve Shanklin, Murray State ’70, all adddressed the crowd, with Shanklin presenting a National Board resolution commemorating the anniversary. In the spirit of furthering the chapter’s legacy, several items of memorabilia were auctioned off to provide funds for future scholarships. The next day, brothers enjoyed a farewell brunch at the chapter house before departing.

The successful celebration was planned by the Pennsylvania Eta AVC, led by Jim Edwards, ’78. Brothers from many different decades of the chapter’s existence attended, and they look forward to a future of continued success.
