Fricker Cup 2021: September 25 in the backyard of Notre Dame!

Find your partner and take a swing at becoming a Theta-Upsilon Immortal: A winner of the one and only Fricker Cup! 

The Fricker Cup comes to South Bend, Indiana, home of the Fighting Irish on September 25 giving alumni from across the country the opportunity and excuse to reconnect with friends and brothers for a great weekend! 

Brother Brian Harding IC '86 has organized a fantastic weekend and negotiated great rates on the hotel and tournament. But you need to act fast to reserve a hotel room before we lose the block and special pricing on August 15.

Friday Alumni Reception Open to Everyone
(No Charge, sponsored by KSTUAA)
Alumni Reception Friday, September 24 7:00-9:00+ at the Legends of Notre Dame Restaurant and Alehouse Pub just a football field away from Notre Dame Stadium. From here many will move to campus bars just south of Legends in Eddy Street Commons or to The Linebacker, the legendary dive bar. The hotel has also confirmed we can access the bar area that evening for those wishing to play Euchre. 

Possible Private Tour of Notre Dame stadium and Locker Room
Brother Harding is working his magic to get registered Brothers in for a tour.  The university hasn't cleared it yet because of COVID precautions still in effect.  

Where New Legends are Made: The Fricker Cup
The annual Fricker Cup Golf Tournament provides two Kappa Sigma, Theta-Upsilon Alumni the opportunity to win our Chapter’s most coveted prize: their names engraved on THE Fricker Cup and the ability to hoist the cup with their bare hands in victory while avoiding the curse of Fricker!  Only 11 of our 1000+ alumni have ever won a Fricker Cup with Brother Brad Flinders the only one to win twice. 
 

The tournament is a best ball format with a few extra rules to keep it interesting. A single pair wins the tournament. You can ask to be placed with another pair within the registration form. Additional course prizes are also given out. 

Winners will be announced at the 19th hole once everyone is in, freeing everyone up for another great night on the town in South Bend.

Encouraging Special donations to support the Colony
In order to become a Chapter the Colony will need to raise $3000 to pay the Chartering Fee. KSTUAA and the Chapter Advisory Committee are asking all alumni to contribute to the cause of raising 1/2 that amount in a show of support.  You can use the payment methods above to make a donation.
