Gamma Sigma TKE Homecoming 2022
Just as some form of COVID will always be with us. So will be your Teke Homecoming. Your TKE Gamma Sigma Alumni Chapter and the University of Kentucky have scheduled the weekend of October 14th-16th, 2022 as Homecoming. So, in case you may have forgotten as to what we do and when we do it read on for Homecoming weekend 2022.
Our opponent will be Mississippi State, with full seating at Commonwealth stadium, and Keenland operating with admissions limited to 20,000 race day fans If you are interested in going to Keeneland and want to make sure you can get in you should go to Keenland.com and order your General Admission tickets in advance on line. Advance tickets are priced at $7.00 each. Walks ups on race day are $10 each if available. .As usually Lexington will be bursting at the seams. As a result hotel accommodations will be scarce and prices have increased significantly.
The TKE Alumni Group has a block of rooms at The Homewood Suites by Hilton, 249 Ruccio Way, Lexington Ky. 40503, (859 ) 223-0880. When making your reservation ask for the TKE Alumni Block. As usual if they cannot find the block try my name. The rooms are 1 bedroom studio suites at $267.00/night plus tax. The rooms will be released from inventory on October 10, 2022. Reservations must be made before then in order to have a room. There is a new Staybridge Suites next to the Homewood located at 209 Ruccio Way, Lexington, KY, 40503. Phone number is (859) 710-9888. Their rate for a three night stay is about $150.00 cheaper than the Homewood but they would not do a block of rooms. They currently have availability. If you are planning on attending Homecoming make your reservation now in order to save some money.
The annual meeting will be held at the Lexington Public Library Beaumont Branch located at 3080 Fieldstone Way, Lexington KY.

Looking forward to seeing everyone
We could not have guessed how successful and satisfying Homecoming 2019 would be. In addition to the Keeneland Friday races, a successful annual meeting, and an unexpected win over Arkansas, the Association hosted a dinner for TKE's new colony at the University of Kentucky, actives and pledges ( yes, pledges already). Thanks to Debbie Wagner for the photo of the joint gathering of Fraters, old and new. Frater John Wagner has permitted us to share a portion of his memories:
"I am so very thankful that I was able to celebrate my 50th Year Graduation at UK with my brothers and friends. Such a special time to see and share were we are and the wonderful pass memories as TKE’s at Gamma Sigma and UK. This year was so wonderful and special because we were able to share a dream we have waited for over 30 Years, seeing the future of TKE Gamma Sigma Colony. It was the right time and place at Homewood Suites' main room, to enjoy a great meal, including Judy's cherry cobbler. Many thanks to Bob, Dave, Bing and all fraters who were able to attend. The best part was meeting, talking and sharing our past and hearing there dreams and challenges to form the New TKE Gamma Sigma Chapter. What was so special is they wanted to stay, talk and how much we want to welcome them into our Fraternity. I was impressed with their manners, appearance, intelligence and their pride being Gamma Sigma TKE ‘s. It was with great pleasure that we welcomed the new Gamma Sigma TKE's, we asked how we can help them and requested a wish list and emails letting us know their status and activities. If you would like to support the new TKE Gamma Sigma Colony, donations can be made to TKE Gamma Sigma Alumni Association or to the National TKE, for the Gamma Sigma Colony. A special thanks to all who were able to attend this year's Home Coming and how very proud we are of the new Gamma Sigma, TKE's."
