San Fernando Valley State College 1997 Anniversary CelebrationCalifornia Nu was chartered by Sigma Alpha Epilson in December 1967. To celebrate this event after thirty years and about sixty pledge classes, Sigma Alpha Epsilon will have a major anniversary dinner in November or December. Plans are underway, but still dynamic and taking shape in the cosmos, as it were. More details to follow soon.... Team MeetingsIn 1966, "the Pi Kappa Tau Drinking Team" meetings began. They have continued until today. The second Thursday of each month, brothers gather at the Lannathai restaurant on Van Nuys Blvd. about seven o'clock in the evening. Any given night there will be eight or ten brothers or as many as sixty. These meetings have gone on since the 1960s and continue. Everyone is welcome. The meetings are at:
The origin of these meetings began when the Benevolent Order of the Silver Flagon was created as a beer drinking honorary fraternity at Valley State and got a charter from the Associated Students. Some brothers, notably Gerry Adams and Larry Castro, thought any brother should automatically be a member, but for some reason or another Cagle insisted the BOSF was an honorary like Blue Key. Adams and Castro were so upset that they started their own beer drinking fraternity, which they simply referred to as "the Drinking Team" or generally just "the Team." Well, whereas the Benevolent Order (BOSF) had actual chapters at several other universities (including Oregon State, Chico, San Jose, Fresno, and other universities), when the initial members graduated, BOSF disappeared. Even Cagle admits this fact. The Team continues, however, to this day. None drinks alone.
