The Life and Times of CostoOn April 2, 2009, Brother Robert John Costomiris ’85 died at the age of 45 after a battle with cancer.
Bob’s obituary reflects that he was born and raised in Queens, received a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from Penn, an MBA from the University of Chicago, and enjoyed a distinguished professional career as a portfolio manager with Wells Capital Management, and before that, Strong Capital Management. But what Bob’s obituary won’t tell you is Bob’s favorite roulette number (28, if anyone feels lucky), or his many Sig Ep nicknames: Costo, Costoplenty, Bobby Cino, Bobby C-Note, Bobby Flagpole, just to name a few.

Saturday, May 15th marked Penn's Parade of Classes for alumni who graduated in years ending in 4 and 9.
For the past ten years, at least, Penn Delta has sponsored a Saturday mid-afternoon alumni gathering during the break time between the close of the Parade and various class and other alumni dinners.
