Football kickoff vs. The Memphis Tigers (on Saturday 10/9) will be announced on, around 9/30 which will dictate the start time for our tailgate.

That time of year has come around again! October 13-15 is Homecoming weekend, and you know what that means -- The Zeta Lambda reunion tailgate will be on the TU campus at Jackson Common (our usual spot for the past five years) on Saturday 14th and will start four hours before kickoff. TU will announce kickoff time on October 2.
Brother Doug Redmond has graciously agreed to again host a happy hour starting at 5pm on Friday 13th. Last year’s happy hour was awesome and this year should be no different.
Hope to see you there!!

Zeta Lambda is returning to the University of Tulsa!
We are proud to inform you all that after 12 years of dormancy, the time to re-establish the Zeta Lambda chapter of Sigma Nu Fraternity has finally arrived. Starting in January of 2017, the General Fraternity will have staff on the ground, and will begin recruiting for the Spring 2017 Candidate Class of the Zeta Lambda Colony.
For those who I have not yet had the chance to meet, my name is Will Deviney, and I will be serving as the site manager for the Zeta Lambda recolonization. I recently graduated from the University of Idaho in May 2016, where I was a member of the Delta Omicron Chapter of Sigma Nu. Immediately following my graduation, I joined the fraternal staff as an Expansion & Recruitment Consultant and have just recently wrapped up my first expansion project at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Delta Eta).
I am truly honored and excited to be given the chance to restore this historic chapter at an equally historic institution. With alumni assistance from both the Zeta Lambda Chapter and Oklahoma State’s Epsilon Epsilon Chapter, this is sure to be a very successful recolonization. During my time in Tulsa, I will continue following up with recruitment and colony development updates on a weekly basis. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time.
Fraternally,
Will DeViney / will.deviney@sigmanu.org

THIS IS A VERY EXCITING TIME FOR OUR CHAPTER!
I call on all brothers to come out and celebrate the recolonization of Zeta Lambda! Four years ago I told you that "Sigma Nu will breathe again at TU." That has become a reality thanks to many brothers and spouses who have helped out. Now is your chance!
