Alumni Couples

 

 

 

 

September 1955
Russel '57 and Jane Rogers Matthews '59
"I had dated Russel’s room mate, Dickie. I was asked out to dinner by Russ. It was a matter of three months before I was given the Phi Delt necklace and serenaded by the fraternity and him with “So In Love.” We have been married sixty-one years."
August 2009
Jason and Katie Sokolyk Catron, both '13
"We met in Alpha Phi Omega and had Spanish class together. We started dating at the end of sophomore year, right after Katie’s birthday, and have been together ever since. We were married on June 27, 2015 in the Lois Perkins Chapel at SU!"
March 2002
John '03 and Melissa Raudales Zinda '05
"We met at a party in college; Jack was a Phi Delta Theta and I was independent. He came up and introduced himself to me and at a few parties I attended thereafter. We went on our first date in March 2002 to Chili’s in Georgetown."
