From the Prytanis
Dear Fraters,
This is the year. Twenty-seven years ago TKE started the Greek
system at University of Central Florida. It seems fitting that
27 years later we are still setting a precedent for other fraternities
to follow.
The chapter is reeling from a successful fall rush that has made
us a 35+ man fraternity, and in August, four delegates from XI
traveled to Tampa, FL to attend conclave. We have also celebrated
a milestone in our history, our silver anniversary. Our Nationals just recently celebrated our 100
year Annaversery.
Gentlemen, there is a tradition of excellence in this chapter
that you made possible for us. We thank you for this. XI is more
than a fraternity, it is a brotherhood. It is Fredick Carter, scroll
number 1, and Steven Bret Hart, scroll number 574, having never met,
understanding, respecting, and knowing each other. We are all
a part of this. I urge you to remember that brotherhood and join
us during the Alumni Softball & Bar-baque this Spring, and Homecoming this fall. Fraters, there
is no better time to return to the us than now.
Again, thank you for the opportunities you have given us, and
I hope to see you all at homecoming.
Yours in the Bond,
Wes Pinkerton

From the Histor
Dear Fraters,
I hope that everything is going well for all of you. On behalf
of the entire chapter I would like to thank all who came up for
last year's Homecoming. We all had a great time as I hope all
of you did also.
This is a big year for the Xi Iota chapter as we celebrate
our 100th year anniversary with Nationals. The celebration may have already pasted.
The banquet and RC Weekend will be coming up at the begining of this May. Frater Wes Pinkerton is
leading the way with the planning with the help from undergraduate Frater Jeff Sampson. All of us
here at XI are excited about the celebration.
The Alumni Association and the Board of Advisers are also presently
working on a housing plan for the chapter.
Yours in the Bond,
Edward Benditt

at the end of this semester (April 30 - May 2).

Initiation Ceremony, Formal Dinner, and Dance. These
events along with a few surprises are all scheduled to take place.

This milestone will propel Xi Iota to a whole new level
