The holiday that kicks-off the summer is Memorial Day weekend and traditionally in Pittsburgh that is also Alpha Weekend as in the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. On May 22 their Straight Out of Egypt Weekend began with a grand Skeephi Party with the queens of pink and green (Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority) at the Three Lakes Golf Club.
There was a celebrity sighting at the party, it appears that Dawan Owens, who plays  Quan on Tyler Perry’s  “If Loving you Is Wrong” on the OWN Network, is an Alpha and attended the University of Pittsburgh. Owens was in town for the big weekend and planned to play in the Divine 9 Basketball Classic on May 23 at Ammons Recreation Center. After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Information Science, and rising through the ranks of one of the world’s top IT consulting firms, Owens realized that comedy was his true calling. Almost immediately after his stand-up earned him a spot in Comedy Central’s “Open Mic Fight,” Owens booked his first acting job as a series regular on “The Bobby Lee Project.”
The Alpha Weekend concluded with the Straight Out of Egypt Annual Boat ride on the Gateway Clipper Fleet’s Empress. The proceeds from the weekend will benefit the Alpha Omicron Lambda Scholarship Program.
The planners behind the weekend were John Ayers, Marisa Jamison, Monica Johnson, Mark Johnson and Greg Lovelace.
