Musical Theater Major Just One of Chapter’s Stars
Dear Alpha Delta Alumni,
I had the pleasure of witnessing a terrific performance by Penn State students from the musical theater program and the Essence of Joy choir. The event, held March 31, 2004, at The Lincoln Center in New York City, was for Penn State alumni and guests.
During the performance, I remembered that one of our active brothers, Jason Fahey, was involved with theater performances at Penn State. Sure enough, Jason’s name was in the program.
Jason Fahey is a second-year musical theater student. Musical theatre tudents are recruited nationally and admitted to the program only after passing a rigorous audition. Fewer than one in 20 applicants is admitted into this program.
Not only was Jason in this performance, but he was also one of the very few members to perform a solo performance. Jason sang “Where Was I When They Passed Out Luck” from Minnie’s Boys.
His performance was excellent and truly impressive. Jason’s talent, as well as that of the entire Penn State performance group, was clearly of a professional caliber.
I enjoyed witnessing the remarkable talent that Penn State students possess. It was even more gratifying to see one of our own Kappa Sigma brothers steal the spotlight with his outstanding solo performance. I believe you will be hearing more about Jason as his career advances!
With this newsletter we offer another outstanding alumni profile, as these are always very popular with our alumni readers. I am sure you will find this profile, for Brother George Middlemas ’68, very interesting to read. George is a very loyal supporter of our chapter and his contributions are greatly appreciated!
The actives recruited 10 pledges during spring rush and are well on their way to becoming a top fraternity on campus. Please see the undergraduate updates for all of the details.
I hope this newsletter finds all of our alumni doing well in their personal and professional lives. Start marking your calendars for the upcoming football season and homecoming.
Fraternally Yours,
Edward D. Gorkes ’79
