Merry Christmas

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  For all of you crazy Tau Phi's that are still out chasin' game good luck, especially to those waterfowlers who will be braving the crazy warm winter we are having.  Safe travels to all and enjoy this holiday season with your families.

Saturday's Tau Phi Deer Drives

17+ active brothers and alumni gathered at the house on Saturday for a full day of deer drives in the surrounding areas.  Nine plus drives were executed and many deer were put on the move.  At the end of the day, two does and a buck lay in the pile at the house making a fairly successful day.  Br. Zach Stephens also harvest a very hearty nine point in Stone Valley on Friday evening.  Much luck to all that continue to hunt this weekend.

(Brothers that were in attendence included Brs. Murdock, Truesdale, Hoffman, Leonard, Ciarrocchi, Paludi, Marshall, Arrigo, Rinehart, Luther, Ligouri, and Yurchak and pledges Emminger and Stouffer) 

Good Luck to all hunting this upcoming season

With the 2011 Pennsylvania bear season lurking just over the sunset, I wanted to take the time to wish all good luck this weekend and the following weekend with the opening of PA gun season.  Be sure to keep all updated on your success (and possible failure) with posts on here.  Good Luck and be safe.

Alumni News update

"On Nov 11, Three of Four Pledge Brothers of Fall 1982 gathered to hone their shooting skills at the Beaver County Rifle and Pistol Club.  Present were Brothers Brian Monnin, Karl Strause, and Jamie Hoffman.  many rounds were expended.  Pizza and beer were served at Br. Hoffman's home after the shoot.  Much fun was had by all.  Possibly another gathering and pics the next time.  Hard to believe we are or will be age 50.  My maternal grandfather, plant physician and J&L Steel in the 1940's and 1950's, had a piece of art in his office.  It resides in my office today.  It reads as follows.
"The world has need of the best in you, the world has need in the work you do.
Th world has need of a helping hand and the faith of a friend that will understand.
It welcomes the honest, the loyal, the true.  The world needs these things, and it looks to you."
Fraternally,
Br. Jamie Hoffman

Welcome

My fellow brothers and alumni, upon becoming webmaster and experimenting with many things along the way, I have decided to do the alumni blog through this website because of the simplicity.  All you need to do is create a free account and sign in as yourself.  You are then free to comment and post pictures directly to the blog.  They can be anything house related; Job posts, hunting/fishing trips, life updates, house recommendations and anything else is welcome.   I hope to hear from you all. Thanks.
