Homecoming Reunion for Nu Omega Alumni

On Saturday, September 26, 2009, over 100 brothers assembled on Nicholls State University’s campus for the Homecoming Reunion Tailgate for the Nu Omega Alumni Chapter Tailgate.  The tailgate kicked off at 12:00 p.m. behind Manning Field at John L. Guidry Stadium in Thibodaux, LA and culminated with the start of the NSU vs. Jacksonville State Homecoming Game at 3:00 p.m., which NSU lost 60-10.  Brothers came from as near as South Louisiana and as far as Atlanta.

The event benefitted from overwhelming support from several generous brothers.  We need to thank Brother Brian Champagne for his tireless devotion to making this event a success, Brother Josh Jambon, owner of Jambon Boats for donating two large party tents and cooking trailer, Brother Sammy Castalano, owner of Catalanotto Foods for crawfish Madeline and jambalaya, Brother Jamie Rodrigue of Crescent Crown Distributors for a Phi Kappa Theta Alumni Association Banner, Brothers Jude Guidry and Mark Perque for cooking at the event, Brother Donovan Fremin, owner of The Library Bar and Brother Michael Gros for the DJ Cinco de Mike Gros services.  The Fall 2009 Pledge Class hosted a “Wine and Cheese Social” at The Library Bar immediately following the game and the Active Class hosted “Mafia Night Party” at La Casa del Sol.

Lance Brien, Active Chapter President said, “ the showing and support of our alumni chapter was really encouraging and uplifting to both actives and pledges alike.  The Alumni Chapter’s enthusiasm and attendance really showed the younger members what our Fraternity is all about.”

The Louisiana Nu Omega Chapter of Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity was colonized at Nicholls State in 1965 and chartered in 1967 as the first Greek-letter organization on campus.  Our membership boasts over 1,000 brothers, a former National Fraternity President and member of the National Fraternity Board of Trustees.  Louisiana Nu Omega has won the Founder’s Cup twice – in 1976 and 1985.
