Phi Kappa Psi - Penn Pi

The 5th Annual Penn Pi Reunion was a success. Brothers came out of the woodwork and there were a few surprise visits as well. Pictures and commentary will be coming soon. In the meantime, here is an early assessment from Brother Winkel on the evening’s festivities.

It was great to see all those who showed up for this years annual reunion. To those who couldn’t make it, you missed a truly banner evening. Special thanks to Stan and Steve for putting it together. I’m sure Stan will post an update to the web site and fill in some of the important details, but I wanted to put out some of my own personal highlights/awards.

FUNNIEST: How to you choose between Fennimore’s self-effacing Rodney Dangerfield and Caponi’s witty Dennis Miller? You can’t - it’s a tie.

BEST DRESSED: Cherian was the height of dignity and the respectable modern man, however Fennimore’s bombastic modern day Brat Pack look had me waiting for Frank and Dean to walk up and say hello to him. In this long standing rivalry George gets the edge.

BEST HAIR: There wasn’t much competition here as not only was Blatz’s hair impeccable, his candid admittance that he uses Grecian Formula (just a little and only on the sides) was refreshing tone setter for the honest conversation throughout the evening.

BEST BEARD: The early favorite had to be Eveslage with a look that was part Greek Philosopher, part vintage porn. However Mentzers Gorton’s Fisherman/Freudian look and Gaboriault’s rugged yet refined Admiral Peary/Brokeback Mountain look were also strong contenders. The jury is still out here.

MOST TALKED ABOUT ABSENTEE: Mr. Tom Herdelin Esq. (see below if you’re wondering why.)

BEST QUOTE: There were many, but one man was full of them and gets my overall MVP of the evening - “I don’t save lives, I sell ties“, Fennimore.

Good times fellas, hope to see more of you next year or even sooner!

Happy Holidays,
Winkel
