Planning for the SAE 2023 Penn Hoops Weekend began in mid-October 2022 when the Ivy League Preseason Poll was released showing Penn ranked #1.
On Saturday, January 28, 2023, distinguished Penn Theta alumni from two time zones gathered in West Philadelphia to watch the Penn Men’s Basketball team defeat Harvard 83-68.
Attendees:

After pre-gaming at New Deck Tavern, we strolled through campus to the Palestra. Bleacher tickets were readily available for $20 each. Chris McLaughlin’s daughter Molly ’25 joined us to share the Penn coed view of the current SAE brotherhood. Also, we learned that you can not only buy beer at the Palestra, but you may also consume it in the stands.
Post-game we trekked back through campus to the Chapter House where we viewed old composites to relive the days when we had more hair. According to the actives, SAE gave out 17 bids to new members the night before.
After dinner at City Tap, we decamped to Smoke’s where the coeds studiously ignored our group. Nonetheless, a good time was had by all!
In the bonds,
