The Quarterly

During spring break, brothers of the Theta Kappa Chapter at Georgia Southern University traveled to the Dominican Republic for a service and faith-focused mission trip dedicated to helping local communities. Throughout the week, the group installed 576 water filters to improve access to clean drinking water and connected with nearly 1,000 residents through Gospel outreach efforts.

Brothers and alumni from the Theta Kappa Chapter at Georgia Southern University gathered on Saturday, January 17, 2026, for its 12th Annual Commander’s Dinner at The Capital Grille. The evening celebrated both leadership and legacy, recognizing incoming commander Jack Teachworth and honoring outgoing commander Mac Broome for his service. Brothers also proudly commemorated the Rock Chapter Award earned at the 71st Grand Chapter in San Antonio. In a meaningful moment of reflection, the chapter paid tribute to brothers who have entered Chapter Eternal, with special remembrance of those brothers who passed in 2025. The dinner concluded with group photos, including the traditional “Young Guns” shot featuring the commanders who have helped shape the chapter since the event’s founding in 2013.

The Theta Kappa Chapter welcomed the holiday season with its annual Atlanta Area Holiday Mixer on December 16 at Chamblee Tap & Market. The popular gathering spot—owned by Sigma Nu alumnus Dave Heymann (Georgia Tech)—features a BBQ restaurant, coffee shop, and taproom, providing a perfect backdrop for fellowship. Organized by Alumni Chapter Commander Josh Calhoun, the event brought together multiple generations of Theta Kappa alumni and guests from several other Sigma Nu chapters for an evening of reconnecting and camaraderie. Looking ahead, the chapter and alumni are already planning their next major gathering: a spring celebration the weekend of May 1-3 in Statesboro, featuring golf, Eagles baseball on the Yellowwood Deck, and classic Southern BBQ.

The weekend of September 16-18, the brothers of the Theta Kappa Chapter at Georgia Southern University completed their Fall 2025 Pilgrimage to Lexington, marking the chapter’s third such trip in recent years and the continuation of what has become an annual tradition. The Fall Candidate Class was joined by alumni Jeff Miller (Alumni Chapter Lt. Commander), Bill Geddy (Chapter Advisor), and collegiate brother Andrew Armstrong. Saturday featured a full day of LEAD sessions, workshops, and tours of Sigma Nu Headquarters and the Virginia Military Institute, capped by lunch with the cadets. Special thanks go to staff members Michael Lay (Arkansas-Fort Smith), Noah Frank (Purdue), and Brad Beacham (Texas Christian) for leading an engaging session on the history of the Legion of Honor and its ties to Theta Kappa’s own story. The pilgrimage is funded through resources from the Sigma Nu Educational Foundation, with a 75/25 cost split between the foundation and chapter. With fall pilgrimages already scheduled through 2030, Theta Kappa is well-positioned to continue its Pursuit of Excellence for years to come.
