From Brother Chris Djorup:
The stars have aligned and I wanted to reach out to invite you to a special Warhawk Gathering and Phi Chi Epsilon reunion in Denver, from May 22-24 (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday).
I arrived in Denver as a new employee with P&G after graduation from UW-Whitewater, fell in love with Colorado and have been here ever since! As I think about our friendships and experiences from 50+ years ago (can you believe), I cherish more and more, my time, memories and brotherhood with you. This is why I’m reaching out to you and other Chi’s that would’ve graduated approximately 1973-1980 to come celebrate, commiserate and connect in Colorado!
Please forward this to any Phi Chi and help make this go big like our “Ballroom Blitz (w/$2.00 cover to pay for Jano’s band) at The Hawksnest in 1975.
Please be my guest ……
Here’s what is planned with more details to follow!
1) Wednesday, May 22nd: There’s a Phi Chi reunion smoker starting at 4:30 at 8717 Ridgepoint Dr in Castle Pines (my house) with a basement that’s similar to The Huddle with pool table, foosball, shuffleboard, darts and ping pong (even a basketball court). We have plenty of bathrooms in case some of you actually flash back to 1975 at The Huddle. (Wives/partners are of course welcome and to remain upstairs, LOL.)
2) Thursday night, we’ll gather at the Denver Athletic Club, for an evening with Chancellor Corey King. (Remember when we used to get to spend time with Chancellor Connor?) Denver is one of the largest alumni chapters, and their events are always fun. They have a BBQ planned for us for only $30 a person. You need to register online here: https://www.uww.edu/alumni/denver
3) Friday happy hour in Vail at The Wren Condominiums. Beers, Brats and more. The rental condos are really nice, approximately 800 square foot units, with balconies, full kitchens and can accommodate up to four people. Outdoor heated pool, 2 hot tubs, free parking, only a five minute walk into the heart of Vail. (We will not be challenging the locals to blow out the candle.)

Please forward it to other Phi Chis to quickly spread the word and reach out to me with any questions. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly with any thoughts, questions, or fellow brothers contact information.
Go Warhawks and go Phi Chi’s,
