Directions To Sign Up for Alumni Float Trip 2016!!

Hello Fellow Alumni!!

Good news! The Float Trip Shop is up and running on the www.ucmdeltachi.com website! The tab officially went live lateFriday night. Below are some step by step instructions on how to successfully purchase your slot for the Alumni Float Trip 2016 happening June 3-5!!

  1. Go to www.ucmdeltachi.com
  2. Click on the 'Shop' tab
  3. Once in the Shop, you will see three options: 1. Alumni Camping ($100), 2. Active Camping ($50), and Alumni Cabins ($200).
  4. Select the option you are most interested in purchasing...only current actives can purchase the Active Camping spots of course [Yes, T. Riley Pierce, as much as you still want to be in College, you cannot purchase the Active Camping slot. :)]
  5. If you select Alumni Cabin, I suggest you first click on the 'CLICK HERE' links. One link will open a new window in your browser and display a sign up sheet. This sheet shows who's already purchased cabin slots. The sheet also shows all members playing golf and not floating. Note: this spreadsheet is being manually updated 1 time per day. There is a chance that a cabin slot could appear open on the sign up sheet and be unavailable in the drop down. Please remember this will be a manual process and not updated real-time. The other 'CLICK HERE' option will take you out to the Gasconade Hills Resort website where you can find more information on each of the individual cabins.
  6. Once you select a cabin from the drop down menu, there will be big red letters that say 'OUT OF STOCK' if the cabin slot has already been purchased. If you don't see those words, please select 'Add to Cart' to begin the purchase process.
    1. Next you will see a shopping cart logo appear with your amount of purchase in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Once you click on the shopping cart you will be directed to the checkout page. 
    2. Please review your Order Summary and click the Checkout button. 
    3. Then input your email address and phone number before clicking 'Continue'.
    4. Next, enter all required Billing Information and click 'Submit Order'.
    5. After submitting your order, you will be prompted to fill out a quick form asking if you are Golfing and Floating.
    6. Once the form is complete, you should receive an invoice of your purchase at the email you inputted earlier.
    7. Check back in the coming days to make sure the spreadsheet is updated with your correct Cabin and Bed information.
  7. If you want to come down a day early on Thursday, you will need to contact the Gasconade Hills Resort at 573-765-3044 and arrange payment directly with them. They will not be able to confirm which cabin you will be in on Thursday until you arrive. Stephanie and Christian Chatterjee are the owners of the resort. 
  8. Lastly, if you have any feedback on the website, please email me at codymschwartz@yahoo.com. I'm always interested in how I can better improve the process.

Thanks for taking the time to read everyone! I'm looking forward to this being the biggest and Delta Chi Alumni Float Trip yet! I hope to see many of you in June!

HOMECOMING!!

Brothers,

UCM's Homecoming Weekend is less than one week away. This also means that the All Greek Reunion is right around the corner!  If you are still looking for some incentive to pack your bags and make your way down to 'The Burg' this weekend, here are a few reasons to make the trip:

  1. We will have plenty of food, drinks and old stories to go around at the tailgate.
  2. The active chapter is as large as it has ever been in years past (20 AMs this semester).
  3. I have had multiple of the DChi Little Sisters of the past reach out to me over the last couple weeks telling me that they were going to be in town and wanting to know what all of the 'old' DChi's were doing. With that said, we will need a good turnout to remind them why we are, and always will be their favorite Fraternity on UCM's campus.

Now that I have you convinced to join us, here is the agenda for the weekend:

From John Nolan...

Friday, October 23rd
6-8 p.m.- Chapter Open House
Saturday, October 24th
8 a.m. - All alumni breakfast located in the Smiser Alumni Center of the Elliott Student Union, reconnect with fellow alumni and friends over a light breakfast- complimentary
9 a.m. - Join other Greek alum as we watch the Homecoming parade on Selmo Park Lawn.
11 a.m. - All Greek tailgate located next to the W.C. Morris Science Building, tickets are $10 and include lunch.
11-12:15 p.m.- Meet your chapter/alumni representative- The Crossing on South and Holden
11:45 a.m.-Ambrose will make an appearance around 11:45 a.m. and discuss the latest news on campus. 
1:30 p.m.- Cheer on your Mules football team as they take on the Northeastern State RiverHawks! Tickets are $7, for reserved section D, advance purchase only! 

2015 All Greek Reunion event t-shirts (long and short sleeve), commemorative glasses, and game tickets are available to purchase through the RSVP website until Oct. 6th.

Please RSVP by 10/22 at ucmo.edu/allgreekreunion2015

We will also be holding our own tailgate, like always, but we will not be serving food, as the university tailgate will have plenty. The all Greek tailgate will have food for $10, as well as a cash bar (Bring your own)

Thanks for reading.  Hope to see everyone in 'The Dirty Burg' this weekend!

Need some incentive to come to Homecoming this year?

Just in case you were on the fence about coming to Homecoming Weekend at UCM this year, I would like to give you one more reason to make the trip to "The Burg".  This year the University of Central Missouri Alumni Office is hosting an All Greek Reunion on the Saturday of Homecoming Weekend (10/24/15).  This will be a great opportunity to reconnect with friends you haven't seen in ages, while also making net new connections.

The schedule for the event is as follows:

  • 8AM - Alumni Breakfast - Smiser Alumni Center (located in the Student Union)
  • 9AM - Parade Viewing - Selmo Park Lawn (grass in front of the President's house)
  • 11AM (or following the conclusion of the parade) - All Greek Tailgate - Location TBD
  • 1:30PM - Football Game vs Northeastern (for tickets call (660) 543-8839 or tickets@ucmo.edu)

In addition to schedule there will be an Archives Museum set up in the Library. There will also be event t-shirts for sale.

I think this is a really good opportunity for us as an alumni base to show how strong we are as a group. My goal is to get 30+ alumni at this event. Let's make it happen!

 So, for your to-do list:

  1. Mark the weekend of October 23-25 on your calendar.
  2. Call 2+ other alumni and convince them to come down with you.
  3. Reserve a hotel room (they will be filling up fast with this event now on the books!).
  4. Once you have a party partner(s), call your favorite group of Sorority Alumni and convince them to join in on the fun (we can't let them forget who their favorite Fraternity on campus to hang out with is and will always be :)).
  5. RSVP using the form below.
  6. Get ready for a good time catching up with friends (old and new) for an entire weekend away from the everyday norm.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach me using the "BB" Contact Button on the Alumni page.

Thank you for reading!
