River City Rascals Game Alumni and actives of Delta Phi Zeta recently attended a River City Rascals game in O’Fallon, MO on June 27th. Everyone at the game was treated to their fair share of hot dogs and beverages as we were seated in the Dogs N Suds Party Deck. This was the first time Delta Phi Zeta had a night at the Rascals game, but we hope to have events that bring alumni and actives together every summer. Thanks to everyone who attended the game.
