beach trip 74 2

Kappa Zeta 1968-1979 Alumni “Survivors Beach Trip”If you were a Kappa Sig at GSC during the 60’s and 70’s the social highlight of the year was the annualspring beach trip in May. Each year the boys would wind their way down the “Woodpecker Trail” through South Georgia, pick up I-95 at Brunswick, heading for Daytona Beach. Our destination, the Safari Inn, a 50’s era mid-rise that featured “Conditioned Air & a TV in every room”. So what if the AC screeched like a VW Beetle, and the TV was black & white with 3 fuzzy channels, we thought we were in heaven. To think about it we were! With our gorgeous GSC coeds, Kappa Sig Stardusters, and an unlimited amount of kegs what else did a Kappa Snapper need? Who can forget the Shark Attack Lounge just down the street, a casual Gentlemen’s Club where bikers mixed with frat boys. Where some folded their dollar bills the long way for the first time. And there was always the popular Alligator Farm on highway 301, when in ‘74 Kevin Connell was ambushed by Sam the crazed chimp. Late in the afternoon Cole’s Commandoes stormed the beach, and then we’d gather for the big group portrait. Many a heart was won and broken by late Saturday night as the band played everything from Sam & Dave to ZZ Top. A Gator contest provided the entertainment, as the Tee-Kee Hut floated in the pool. Was management happy? Maybe not, but Sunday afternoon, they’d always say “See you boys next year”.Several months ago, one Friday afternoon, a few old timers were nursing a cold one at Boz Bostock’s “Gnats Landing”, on Saint Simons Island. As usual the conversation turned to the old days. The days of a full head of hair, flag football, Free Dog Night at the K.O.G., the Flame and of course BEACH TRIP. Suddenly these captains of industry realized, we live at a beach! We still enjoy a cold one or two! AND we have about 279 Kappa Sig brothers around our age, (most with good credit), that…..LOVE THE BEACH & a COLD ONE! At once they shouted those famous words, “BEACH TRIP!”We are happy to announce that Kappa Sigmas initiated between 1968 &1979 are invited to Kappa Zeta’s “60’s & 70’s Survivors Beach Trip”.

Kappa Sigmas' 67th Biennial Grand Conclave was held July 22-26 in San Antonio, Texas. With the temperature over 100 degrees each day, our boys from Statesboro, were one of the few chapters that felt right at home. Each day started with a general session with all chapters attending. In the afternoon, breakout sessions, featured such topics as rush recruitment, officer leadership training, alumni association development and ritual proficiency. A highlight of the week was the honorary initiation of Rudy Ruettiger, Notre Dame legend and the man who inspired the movie "Rudy".
