Recap of Homecoming ’09 Open House and Tailgate

John "Ameba" Webb, Jim "Bumpy" Ferryman, Pat "Yetti" Ferryman, and Paul "Rip" Engel party it up with our lady guests.

Over 200 people enjoyed the tacos, beer and good times of the Gamma Xi tailgate before SJSU’s homecoming game against Idaho on Saturday, making it the biggest Gamma Xi alumni event in recent memory. A number of alumni came by the house beforehand to see how the place is holding up, specifically to check out the results of the capital campaign that’s raised some much-needed funds for the improvement of the house.

The actives and alumni from throughout Gamma Xi’s history for all-you-can-eat catered tacos and plenty of libations. The t-shirts were very popular and on display throughout the afternoon and into the evening as we supported the Spartans (who unfortunately lost when Idaho scored a go-ahead TD with 1 minute left…) and then met up at San Jose Bar & Grill after the game. Here’s a video, and a photo album is below.
