This will be an informal get together to inform the alumni and active chapter members of the house renovation details. All members of the House Conceptual Building Committee (Rick Dissly ’66, Paul Boylan ’64, Walt Smith ’85, Bryan Henson ’84, Norm Achen ’66, and John Hertz ’89) will be available to answer questions. Dress is casual. We expect a big turnout, so register today by clicking the “Buy Now” button below so we can ensure we have enough appetizers. The cost of the function is $30 per person. Beverages will also be available for purchase from GranTree.

Football Tickets

HERE’S MOST IMPORTANT PART!  To purchase your football tickets call the athletic department ticket office at 406-994-2287 beginning on August 8 and ask for tickets in the Sigma Chi Alumni section 109 (sideline seats) or section 124 (end zone seats). The sideline seats are more expensive. You can pick up the tickets at will call on the day of the game.   DO NOT purchase your tickets online at ticketswest.com because you will not be in the Sigma Chi Alumni section if you do.

Tailgates

Pre-game Beta Rho Tailgates will be held in various locations. See the hosts and maps below.

We are recommending that you attend the Tailgates as indicated by the year of your graduation as you will meet most of the brothers from your time at Beta Rho. Of course, you are free to attend any of the Tailgates.

Please be sure to introduce yourself to the Beta Rho host. You should also be aware that these hosts hold Tailgates for most Bobcat games so other non-Beta Rho guests will likely also be present.
