25 Years of Sigma Kappa Nu

Dear Brothers of Sigma Kappa Nu,

Greetings! We hope this letter finds
you in good health. After a long break for
spring break and Easter weekend, the actives are
ready for a busy month. The spring has always
brought a large group of alumni to the Erie
area. As we celebrate another year of
fraternity, we hope for nothing different.

In efforts to “pregame” for the
anniversary month, SKN will be holding our annual
formal dinner and dance. For our second year, we
will be holding this dinner at the Presque Isle
Country Inn, Sterrettania Rd, Erie, PA. Brothers
will arrive by 4 PM. Dinner is served at 8:30
PM. Any brothers of Sigma Kappa Nu are welcome
to join us after dinner as we announce the
2008-2009 Officers. Let us know if you have an
interest in coming. It would be great to see
alumni at our formal. But this is only the beginning….

Sigma Kappa Nu will kick off the
month of April with our 25th Anniversary
Party. It starts on Friday, April 4th 2008 at
6:00 PM. The meal will include hamburgers,
hotdogs and other dinner dishes brought by the
actives. Drinks will be provided at dinner. We
will even have our own wait staff. All of this
is for just five dollars a person! Please do
whatever you can to make it to the dinner. We
can seat as many people as we need and we would love to see all of you.

After dinner the officers will be
talking to everyone about the present history and
the bright future of the fraternity. This will
be an opportune time to talk about great times
from the past. President Daniel Frankel will
give a toast to Sigma Kappa Nu, its founding
fathers, its alumni and its actives. We will
close with the largest chant in the fraternity's twenty five years.

Tradition continues the next day as
we hold our third annual DX v. SKN football
game. For the twenty-third year, Sigma Kappa Nu
is hosting a football game with another
fraternity. SKN has played Tau Kappa Epsilon and
Kappa Delta Rho in the past. SKN is 15-5-2
overall. We will play our anniversary game at
its new location in North East, PA. The field is
at 40 N Lake St, North East, Erie, Pennsylvania
16428. Kickoff is set for 12:30 PM. Reffing the
game will be Jimmy Z and Amor from the Pub. The
teams will arrive at 11:30 AM to set up the field
and warm up. We invite all alumni, friends and
families to this event as well! There will be
drinks and some food available at the game. Feel free to bring anything!

Post-Game festivities will be at the
Pub. Plenty of drinks will be had. We will
enjoy pub food and celebrate the quarter century
the best way we know. Our weekly Saturday party
will start at 8:00 PM that night. Brothers are
encouraged to come back to the SKN Compound to
celebrate for the rest of the evening.

On April 23, 2008 we will hold our
weekly meeting on this Wednesday. We invite any
brother willing and able to make the trip to Erie
on the day of our 25th anniversary. This will be
a great way to formally celebrate. That evening
SKNs will be having an open party. The brothers
will be bringing food and alcohol for all.

The wedding of Stephen Hornyak to
Colleen Russman will be held in Erie on April
26th. The ceremony is going to be held at Faith
Lutheran Church. Steve-o invites all of you up
to Erie to hang out in the days before the
wedding. There will be lots to do as Erie moves
into its warmer season. State Street always has
lots of specials Wednesday through Friday.

If you have any questions about the
weekend please get a hold of Glenn or Dan at any
time. We are more than willing to help you find
a place to stay or to just give you directions to
our new place! The actives look forward to
seeing you all these coming weekends. Travel safely and take care.

Sincerely,

Daniel Frankel

Odds & Ends

I have a bunch of little stuff that by themselves is not enough for a full blog...

Today I heard from Robb Brown (Fall 1985) . He is still in Clearfield selling cars. He says the last update of his info in the database was 1990.... 18 years... Our pledges this coming fall will have been born in 1990... Wow, time flies.

I have not heard from John Nakahara (Fall 1992) in a while. He has had two children, a boy and a girl. His boy, named Ben, was born October 7, 2006. We have another Skin legacy named Ben, born on October 7.... Tracey Rabekoff's (Spring 1988) son, born in 2003.

I'm sure you know that this is the 25th year of SKN. We have two reunions, the first will be in Erie, and will coincide with the annual football game. This will be on the weekend of April 5th. The actives should be blogging about this soon. The second reunion is July 25-27 in State College. You can find out more about this reunion on this blog. Unfortunately, the Behrend 60th reunion is the same weekend in Erie.

Shon Flemming (Fall 1990) is now in Florida, in St Augustine. He build a house with a pool in the back and still has parties that last into the early morning hours. They have a guest suite and welcome guests that bring beer.

Tim Gilboy (Fall 1988) wrote: "A funny note about my the company I work for. The company was bought by Siemens a couple of years ago and folded into their environmental group. We just changed our name to Siemens Environmental Systems and Services. And we go by the acronym SESS."

Jeff Schenker (Fall 1988) is back out exploring the world. He is now traveling through southeast Asia. If you want to keep up with his travels, check out his travel log at http://www.travelpod.com/members/jeffsadventures

Can you imagine a SKN brother in the beer industry? Tom Micsky (Spring 1988) writes: "Laurie and I have jumped around quite a bit over the past few years, but have been more stable recently. In November of 2004 we had a chance to come back to Pittsburgh when I changed companies from Quaker Oats/PepsiCo to H. J. Heinz. I worked in the corporate sales planning office for nearly 3 years before an opportunity with Miller Brewing Company came up and I left Heinz this past July. I am now managing a sales team from my home office in the north Pittsburgh suburbs. It was nice not having to move to advance the career. The 3 years we have spent back home have now been the longest we have lived anywhere since we got married back in 1991. Hopefully we can stick around here a while and get my oldest daughter through high school (currently a freshman)."

I think that is enough for now. If you have an update, drop me a quick note.
