Quarterbacks Ben Graham (alumni) and Dave (potential rushee) each passed for many touchdowns. However, Dave would have done a lot better had Gerald not dropped all the balls in the end zone! Graham and Jeff Blake (active) found each other in the end zone throughout the game to keep the score a healthy lead. Active Brother Anthony Bryson also had some surprising catches, and runs.

Between games we took a break, listening to Tim Laidler’s (alumni, former House Manager) brilliant story of Nathan Woolard (alumni) in the classroom.

We followed up with a game of soccer. Adrien “Brick Wall” Lee, goalkeeper (alumni), was a beast in stopping many breakaway runs.

Tired from running around, and beaten up by bare feet on turf, we headed to the house for BBQ and Beer. Brother Blake manned the grill, churning out 30 plus burgers and a few dozen hot dogs to hungry Alpha delt’s. With grilled onions, fresh tomato and lettuce, the food was a hit. We shared stories, laughed, and enjoyed the company of our brothers – active and alumni – as many of the actives have not been around since the end of the school year.

Then we cracked a few beers and the rest is a blur…  Just kidding, someone had the bright idea of freezing the 30 pack so it turned out to be a refreshing beer … slurpee. Mmmmm.

Alpha Delta Phi has hit the ground running in September winning the first three UBC REC events. September 27^th was a big day for Alpha Delt, with teams ‘Long and Strong’ finishing first in the UBC Mens category with the fastest time all weekend and ‘We Paddle Upstream For Kicks’, a CoRec team with sorority Alpha Gamma Delta, second in the UBC CoRec division. Our two other teams also did amazing, placing second in divisional races, only to other Alpha Delt teams.

Alpha Delt came out strong again placing first in the following REC event Inner Tube Water Polo. Brothers Jesse Ory, Steven Klassen and Glendon Inkster joined forces with the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi to win 2-0 in the finals.

Gladiator, the most recent event, tested the strength, fitness, endurance and skill of all competitors. However, Alpha Delta Phi took these in stride and to no avail placed first yet again in Divisional competition in a CoRec team with Alpha Delta Pi. Brothers Jeff Hart, Andrew King and Steven Klassen with help from Pledge brother Ross Enns worked together to come out with the win.

Several brothers and pledges also competed in the Fall Badminton tournament, with Brothers Jeff Hart and Ross Andrews duking it out in the finals of Pool B. Brother Tim Dy Guani also placed well, reaching the semi-finals of Pool B.

Andrew and the Trophy

Congratulations to all the brothers who worked hard this year and came out to all of the UBC Rec sports and events. It was your efforts that won the annual Interfraternity Council sports trophy despite the close competition in the Hindmarch division. Special thanks to the other students who participated with the Alpha Delts this year; it was a lot of fun.

Congratulations to Brother Andrew Cobleigh for winning UBC Rec’s Earl Award for the Mens category!

Steve, Tim, Amanda, Colin, Jen, Kim, Mitch

Alpha Delta Phi and Alpha Delta Pi were victorious last night at Alpha Gamma Delta’s annual volleyball fundraiser. Thanks to all the supporters who came out and cheered our brothers on last night.

Alphadelt wins the men’s Hindmarch final!!!

After an impressive 7-3 victory over Fijis Balls Out in the league semifinals, the boys prepare to meet the Beta Dragons in the finals next thursday. The team thanks Fiji for a great season and congratulates them on their sportsmanship. Our only regret is not having the pleasure of meeting them in the finals.
