Every fall and winter, a large number of DC Cal alumni meet at our DC Game viewing bar, Homeslyce DC, to root on our Golden Bears in football, basketball, & occasionally other Cal sports. Join us! But if you do, please remember not to wear red, and to try to learn the Cal Drinking Song! Homeslyce is located at 2121 K Street NW, near the Foggy Bottom Metro station. To be in the know about our upcoming game viewings, please join our Game Viewings Facebook Group, or join the Game Viewings email list!
Our biggest event of the year, our Cal-Stanford combined Big Game Party attracts hundreds of alumni from across the DC metro area, in a combined chapter tradition that has lasted for over 50 years!
