FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
On May 25th the Delta Theta Chapter of Sigma Chi Fraternity will celebrate the 72nd anniversary of its founding with a "Founders Day" event at the chapter house on Siskin Drive.
Event organizers said the event will kick-off at 5 p.m. as hundreds of brothers who have left their legacy on the chapter will gather and renew their bonds of fellowship.
Food and drink will be furnished by none other than Lawrence Mills, the proprietor of 2503 Station Grill. His new culinary venture has already left an indelible mark with the thousands in our city who are aficionados of smoking beef, pork and chicken. In addition, 2503 Station Grill has in the recent past hosted Delta Theta events, providing unparalleled hospitality.
Music for "Founders Day" will be provided by the band "No Big Deal," fronted by Dennis Massenagle. The six-piece band has gained a large following over the years and play classic rock and roll with which brothers old and young will be familiar. The band will fire up at 6 p.m. EDT and play until the brothers allow them to leave.
"Reach out to your pledge brothers and give them a personal invitation to attend," said Stanley Stout, President of the Chattanooga Alumni Chapter. "We want this event to be over the top.”
Delta Theta chapter was founded May 16-17, 1947. Among its founding members were Lee Anderson, former editor and publisher of the Chattanooga News-Free Press, and Malone Everett, who had a long and distinguished career in the insurance business. Anderson was the first president of Delta Theta chapter.
Other notable alumni of the chapter are William "Mickey" Barker, former Chief Justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court; Dr. Joel Cunningham, former vice chancellor of the University of the South; and Gavin Maloof, former co-owner of the Sacramento Kings NBA franchise and owner of The Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
