Passing of a brother in Iraq

[ZTAMich]

I am sad to report the passing of a founding brother of the Theta Tau chapter of Delta Tau Delta here at Moravian College. Capt. Christopher Scott Seifert, 27, of the Army's 101st Airborne Division died when live grenades were tossed into tents at the division's command center. He was a 1997 graduate of the college. His wife, Theresa Flowers-Seifert, a founding sister of my ZTA chapter, survives him along with their 4month old baby boy Benjamin.

I am not aware of memorial services if anyone in the Lehigh Valley is a brother of DTD but I do know they are asking in lieu of flowers for donations made in his name to Big Brothers and Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley.

My prayers go to his family and friends.

My sympathy to his fellow brothers...

I know it's been awhile. I was just wondering how the fundraising effort turned out and if the university, chapter or anyone else continued the effort this year.

A scholarship fund is a good thing to develop. It lets you remember your friend and also helps someone who could use a little help. Thanks.

I believe they are keeping up with the fund & I would hope making the golf outting a yearly spring event....
