Kyles (Delta Pi 1984) who also received the Delta Pi Achievement Award. Saturday was all about football, food and fun. Despite a less-than-stellar performance by the Spartan Football team, the day began with tailgating and fellowship on Michigan State’s campus. Thanks to the culinary delights of chef Brian Swift (Delta Pi 1993) and near- perfect weather conditions, everyone in attendance was able to escape the reality of another Spartan loss on the gridiron. Saturday’s festivities were capped by Lansing (MI) Alumni hosting the Hospi- tality suite led by Lansing (MI) Alumni Polemarch Tyrone D. Sanders, Jr. Esq. (Delta Pi 1992).
The 60 th Charter Anniversary was well attended and received by the broth- ers and the campus alike. A special thank you goes out to the Delta Pi 60 th Reunion committee led by David O. Branch (Delta Pi 1976) for organizing an outstanding Anniversary weekend. Committee members included: Maxie C. Jackson (Delta Pi 1957), Charles J. Smith (Delta Pi 1969), Kevin D. Kyles, Darryl E. Campbell (Delta Pi 1998), Kerry D. Adams (Delta Pi 1992), Brian Swift, Eric K. LaShore (Delta Pi 1996), Dreux M. Baker (Delta Pi 2006), Kyle S. Barnes (Delta Pi 2009), Tim City, Ahmad M. Proctor (Delta Pi 2009) and George Williams.
