Happy June, Brothers!
Registration for the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity All-Years Reunion continues to remain open through July 1. Click on the link here ( https://events.isufoundation.com/en/2Eo2LP6/2026-phi-kappa-tau-reunion-4aBhNu3OH7/overview ) or below to register for the reunion, July 31–August 1, at the Gateway Hotel in Ames.
So far, there are 52 registered for the reunion (no change from the last email)! There's still time for others to register. This will be a great opportunity to reconnect with brothers, visit campus, and enjoy a fun weekend together. We hope you’ll join us, but we'll have to close registration on July 1 to make final plans and lock-in prices for food and drink.
Steve Pittman is working on securing some PKT-ISU coasters (merch, or merchandise) for us. If the budget allows, there might be a couple of Cyclone or Phi Tau door prizes, or maybe some items for sale. You can also shop for your own Cyclone and Phi Tau "merch" at these links:

Here's the schedule, including a new activity! Some indicated interest in golfing, so we're tentatively planning to do that on Saturday morning at 9 am at the Coldwater Golf Links east of the football stadium. If you would like to join us, please send me an email or text. I have to register golfers online two weeks prior, (so by July 18). Green fees are $32 for 9 holes and $44 for 18 holes. Cart rental is $14 and $18, respectively.

After you register, we ask that you consider indicating your attendance on this reunion Facebook event. And please, forward this email to others. We don't have everyone's email address. (Also, please continue to disregard duplicates of this email; we're still working from two separate email lists.)
And keep working on finding your old memorabilia. It'd be great to see your photos, composites and pledge paddles on Saturday night (there might not be enough room in the restaurant and bar on Friday)!
