Bethlehem, Pa., February
28, 2005—The brothers of Delta
Tau Delta fraternity at Moravian College
will host their second annual golf
tournament in honor of Army Captain
Christopher Scott Seifert, a 1997 graduate
of Moravian who was tragically killed
in Operation: Iraqi Freedom. Last year's
effort raised $11,000. This year's
tournament will take place on Sunday,
April 17 with tee times at both 8:00
a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at the Southmoore
Public Golf Course (Bath, Pa). The
cost will be $80 per golfer (includes
golf, cart, food and drinks, and prizes).
Proceeds will benefit the Benjamin
Seifert College Scholarship Fund.
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.
