Tau Nu Fiji 25th Anniversary ‐ Frequently Asked Questions
1.
What is it?
It’s a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Tau Nu chapter of Phi Gamma Delta. Officially, Tau Nu was installed on November 3, 1984, but we are conducting this event earlier in order to align with RPI’s reunion week.
2.
When is it?
Events start Friday evening, October 2, 2009 and run through Sunday noon, October 4, 2009.
3.
Who’s invited?
Invitees include graduates and their guests (including kids!), undergraduates and their guests, area Fijis, and a few dignitaries from RPI and IHQ.
4.
Really, kids too?
Yes, we will have kid‐friendly food choices and activities on Friday and Saturday nights (e.g. movies, games), supervised by a professional nanny service (www.anewenglandnanny.com)
5.
Is there a minimum age for kids?
No, there is no minimum age for children. However, the number of nannies to be used will be largely determined by the age distribution of the kids. A greater number of nannies will be employed given a larger population of younger kids.
