Friday January 24 Delta Epsilon Brothers gathered in downtown Columbia for an evening of brotherhood and fellowship to observe the Order’s annual Convivium celebration. This was a celebration of our Order, our local alumni chapter, and an opportunity to see our brothers more than once a year.
Gathering in the Vista at Hickory Tavern located at 907 Senate Street, Columbia, South Carolina at 7:00 PM. A buffet style dinner was served in the private porch, it is both enclosed and heated. Dress for the event was business casual.
At the dinner, we shared the Alumni Chapter’s social calendar for the year. The complete 2020 social calendar will be sent via email for those who did not attend. The toast to our spiritual founder was given by Matt.
“Brothers will you please rise.
Knights, Gentlemen, Brothers: The toast – water only.
Lift high your glasses here tonight, and, in the liquid spotless as his fame,
let us pledge for all time the Spiritual Founder of Kappa Alpha Order –
Robert E. Lee of old Virginia.”
It was good to see everyone on the 24th. Please reach out to your pledge brothers and encourage attendance at the Convinium planned for next Jan. and all other Alumni events planned for 2020.
Fraternally,
Matthew Wade Padgett- 10
