(Bethlehem, Pennsylvania) – The brothers
of Delta Tau Delta fraternity at Moravian College will host a golf
tournament in honor
of Army Captain Christopher Scott Seifert, a 1997 graduate of Moravian
who was tragically killed in Operation: Iraqi Freedom. The tournament
will take place on Sunday, April 18 with tee times at both 8:00 a.m.
and 1:00 p.m. at the Southmoore Public Golf Course (Bath, Pa). The

Seifert, 27, was killed on March 22, 2003 by a
troubled fellow soldier who threw a hand grenade into Seifert’s
tent while he was sleeping at Camp Pennsylvania, Kuwait. Seifert
was a member of the 101st Airborne
Division, Fort Campbell, Kentucky. He left behind his wife, Theresa
L. (Terri) Flowers, also a 1997 graduate of Moravian, and their four-month-old
son, Benjamin.
Seifert, a history major, was an active student at Moravian. He was
a 26-Pointer, a campus ambassador who took prospective students and
their parents on tours of the college and answered their questions
and concerns, and a founding member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity.
Seifert was a lighting technician for theater productions and a member
of the drama club. Off campus, Seifert donated his time to Big Brothers
and Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley. He was also a member of the Reserves
Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at Lehigh University.
