Homecoming Announcement
Homecoming is less than month away!! This is the last chance you have to reserve your spot at this year's spectacular dinner event. This is an exciting year for both PIKE and Northwestern as the chapter is once again showcasing its new property (photos here) including a yet-to-be unveiled basement renovation. The Wildcats will also be playing one of the season's best games under the lights at Ryan Field. It's highly recommended that all attendees download the Gamma Rho Homecoming Guidebook (see sidebar) to get more details about the weekend!

Friday Night (7:30-11pm): 
The Alumni Association has booked a private floor at one of Chicago's best BBQ restaurants, Chicago q, from 7:30-11pm exclusively for Pike alumni and their guests. Cocktails and apps will be served at 7:30pm followed by dinner at 8:15pm with late arrivals welcome. Selections from the Gold Coast restaurant's extensive menu will be served in addition to a full bar and wine list. Only 50 spots are available so purchase your ticket today via the link below!
Chicago q Private Floor
Saturday Morning (11am-12pm):
All Pikes, alumni, and family members are invited to attend the open house hosted by the Housing Corporation at PIKE's new property, 2313 Sheridan Road. Take a tour of the new house and check out the plans the Housing Corporation has in the months and years ahead. We'll have the grill fired up afterward if anyone's hungry.

Saturday Afternoon (2:30-10pm):
Head to the north-east corner of the West Lot of Ryan Field and look for the PIKE flag waving high above the crowd. The West Lot Warriors - a group of PIKE young alumni - are planning one of the best tailgates Northwestern has ever seen. Drinks, food, and a lot of football will start up as soon as the parking lot opens at 2:30pm with kickoff at 6:30pm. The Warriors will have two afternoon games on live via satellite from their tailgate van. Tickets for the tailgate can be purchased by clicking the link below and include unlimited food and drink for the entire afternoon.

Tickets to the football game can be purchased through NU or online. Contact pikegammarhoalumni@gmail.com if you have extras or are in need of tickets and we'll try to facilitate a transaction.
