Just ten years ago we became the newest Golden members of Clarkson’s Alumni. That year and other years leading up, the Lambdas continually had the largest contingent of returning alumni for the class of 1959. For our entire time at Clarkson, starting with our 1956 pledge class of 39 acceptances from 42 bids issued, we remained on top. It continued beyond as we chose a national affiliation with DU.
We are working to get as many of our DU Class of 1959 to this year’s 60th Class Reunion. If there is ever a time for you to return to the Clarkson campus this is it. We, who are so fortunate to have reached this milestone, have a new house on campus with a great bunch of new guys to meet. And most importantly, this is the time to catch up as brothers and with our other Clarkson friends.
It would be great to show Clarkson that we good ole boys can still mustering the spirit of the Gentlemen of Lambda. The last 10 years have taken a toll on us, so lets come and have a toast to them.
Those of you who have attended reunions before know that motel accommodations in the area fill up quickly. Suggest you “save the date” and if you are interested in motels you should definitely reserve room now. You can always cancel if needed. Starting May 1st, registration will start and Clarkson provides free dorm rooms for the 1st 300 to register. Those in the Golden Years get 1st choice of the 150 available rooms in Moore House, the premier student dorm. Some will make hotel reservations and cancel on receipt of a Moore House confirmation
Here some things to know:
The reunion is being held from July 11 - 14, 2019 Registration will begin May 1, 2019
Information about the Clarkson reunion is here.
Here is a link to a Full Clarkson “Who’s Attending List” (Note: putting your name on this list doesn’t register you for the reunion)
Accommodation and other information is here. Note: you can stay in a Residence Hall (aka dorm) room, if you wish, but only 300 rooms are available; typically Moore House rooms are held for 50th Reunion class and the Golden Years members, many including yours truly have select this option since it was offered. It is the center of activities hosting 2 hospitality rooms - the 50th and the other Golden Years.
There will be DU/Lambda specific events including a house tour
Fraternally,
