It’s been 10 years since our last big reunion at the Crow House, and as we prepare to wind down our presence at 77 Elm Street, and to celebrate our remarkable 70-year legacy, we will host a special anniversary gathering this summer during the Clarkson reunion weekend July 10-12, 2026. Alumni, current members, and friends of the chapter are invited to come together to reconnect, share memories, and honor the generations who shaped our story. This celebration will serve not only as a tribute to our past but also as a meaningful opportunity to strengthen the lifelong bonds that define our brotherhood.\u00a0 All events will be held at the chapter house: 77 Elm Street, Potsdam, NY.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
