MIT Fraternity Makes Fall Recruitment a Laughing
Matter
As part of their fall rush schedule, MIT's Theta Chi Fraternity and
Theta Chi alum comedian Evan Wecksell announce a free comedy event on
Sunday, September 4 to welcome new and returning students to campus.
Boston,
MA (PRWEB) August 26, 2005 – As college fraternities everywhere are
kicking off their fall recruitment schedules with viewings of "Animal
House" and trips to the arcade, the Beta Chapter of Theta Chi
Fraternity at MIT is injecting some live entertainment into their
schedule. On Sunday, September 4 at their Chapter House, Theta Chi is
hosting musical comedian and Theta Chi alum Evan Wecksell.
A 2001 graduate of Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts,
Wecksell is a brother from Theta Chi's Epsilon Theta Chapter. He is
also the Chapter's Alumni President.
Wecksell expects his Boston, college, and Greek experiences to appeal
to possible new members and entertain everyone in attendance.
“The brothers here at Beta [Chapter] are great people," says Wecksell.
"I just want to give everyone a good time and let potential rushes and
their parents know that this is a great House. These guys are far from
that "frat" stereotype."
At this time Theta Chi leads all other fraternities at MIT in both
academics and activity participation. Last year, Theta Chi volunteered
for the Boston Walk for Hunger as well as Cambridge Relay for Life, an
event that raised over $100,000 for the American Cancer Society.
"Theta Chi is a brotherhood where every member is encouraged to pursue
his unique talents," says Theta Chi Rush Chair Ante Vulin. "Evan
Wecksell is a great example of that spirit."
Theta Chi's comedy rush event takes place on Sunday, September 4 at
9:00 PM at the Beta Chapter House. It is located at 528 Beacon Street
in Boston. The show is free for all MIT students. Opening for Evan
Wecksell is local comedian Jack Byrne.
About Evan Wecksell:
Stand-up Comedian and Singer/Songwriter Evan Wecksell is one of the
funniest and most energetic performers to emerge from New York’s
comedy clubs and musical venues. Often compared to comedic superstars
Adam Sandler and Stephen Lynch, Evan’s act is a blend of comedy and
music that celebrates dysfunctional relationships, endorses unorthodox
career paths and makes fun of bad music. Later this year, Evan will
appear on VH1’s “I Love the 80s 3D,” “I Love the 70s II” and “I Love
the Holidays.” For more information on Evan Wecksell please visit

About Theta Chi Fraternity:
Theta Chi is an international fraternity made up of more than 160
chapters and colonies. The Beta Chapter at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology was established on December 13, 1902, which marked a new
era of country-wide expansion and national organization and
administration. Although hindered by a serious depression and two
world wars, Theta Chi has grown, and prospered beyond the dreams of
the Founders and holds a prominent position among the national
fraternity scene. For more information on Theta Chi Fraternity visit
