Jasper Winery | 6 - 9 pm | 2400 George Flagg Pkwy, Des Moines, IA 5032

We’ve booked an entire winery for Friday night! Join us at Jasper Winery, located 10 minutes from the Theta Chi House, where you can sample some Iowa wine and a few appetizers before heading to Peggy’s. While the thought of  "Iowa wine" might be tempt some of you to sneak in your own flask of Barefoot Moscato, rest assured that the quality of the wine will be surpassed only by the brotherhood.

Saturday, April 27th 2024

Mainframe Studios | 6 - 9 pm | 900 Keosauqua Way, Des Moines, IA 50309

Mainframe Studios (the former Century Link Data Center for those of us with older vintages) is a four story dynamic arts ecosystem, located in central Des Moines, with a wall of windows overlooking downtown. We’ve secured the main event space for the alumni, active brothers and guests.  In order to enable as many alumni as possible to attend, there is a limit of one guest per brother. The Main Event will feature a cash bar and appetizers followed by a catered, served dinner. The program will include recognition from brothers from Nationals, a few remembrances and tributes, and possibly a keynote speaker.

We look forward to seeing you at these reunion events! NOW is the time to buy your ticket*. This ticket covers your attendance for both events and helps to cover the cost for the undergraduate brothers to attend. Both venues will have a Cash Bar, so plan accordingly.
