Smoker, Pinning Ceremony
Phi Delta Chi Alpha Sigma held our annual event Smoker on September 30th, 2017 at Pompei in Chicago’s Little Italy. This event is to celebrate the new candidates of Alpha Sigma and to mark their official start on candidacy. All the candidates were invited to a hors D’ouvers hour with their respective Delta at various brother’s household. Everyone then headed to Pompei to enjoy a nice Italian dinner. Following dinner, the pinning ceremony was conducted. Each candidate received a pin to officially mark the beginning of their candidacy period. This event was an excellent opportunity for the current brothers of Phi Delta Chi to mingle with and get to know the candidates better. It also allowed the candidates to get excited about Phi Delta Chi as they started their journey.

Hayride
Hayride is a night run by brothers that allows both brothers and candidates to mingle. There were about 50 to 60 people that came to hayride. Brothers and candidates took the bus from Chicago to a farm in the suburbs where a spooky hayride awaited us. Everyone enjoyed the scary hayride mixed in with humor too. After the hayride, brothers and candidates alike sat down around the campfire and enjoyed getting to know one another outside of school. There were also hot dogs and smores that we roasted by the fire which was very delicious. All in all, it was a great event that I am excited for next year!
