Arriving in town Wednesday night, i simply got to say hey before going to bed. Thursday at around 1 would be the beginning of the fun. Joe Law and I played golf, and I actually played well for me, setting a personal best. I shot a 105. We drank, laughed, and made lots of fun of Rojas, who always deserves it.
Golf was followed by mellow mushroom, which was delicious. The night turned rough when we decided beer pong at tillman was the order of the evening. I played, and I won, alot. Tanner and I dominated the table, followed by being intoxicated. It was a great night seeing old friends and laughing and carrying on.
A few of us at Tillman Thursday night.
I got mad at Beau for bouncing it in while I was reracking his gay formations. So I fought, and I lost.
Friday came early, and involved a visit to the admissions office to say goodbye to Susan, who was leaving her job as director of admissions to go to Crap State (Appalachian State University for those who don't know GSU nicknames. The other thing I found out was that Sarah Smith is getting Susan's job! Sarah deserves it, and I'm very happy for her.
I met up with Jake, and we piddled around, waiting for alums to get into town. We headed to Tillman to socialize before heading over to the hotel, and we headed that way when I spoke to TeeTom about when they were getting into town, but they had actually arriaved the night before.
Right here I feel obliged to say there will be a serious post sometime soon regarding my love of my fraternity, our alumni, our undergraduates, and my experience. I got misty eyed multiple times driving home monday thinking about this.
We pull into the Quality Inn, and I see Carl, Tony, Tom, and Daddy Rabbit, four of the greatest guy I know, all from the 70s. Tom and Daddy Rabbit challenged us to some pong, and we tell them they are in for it.
After some drinks at the hotel and dinner, and some more drinks back at the hotel, we made our way to Tillman for another night of fun. I leave out details because it was another normal night of statesboro drinking, but it was great to be with guys like Brad and Chip who I dont see as much anymore.
Saturday was filled with alumni meeting, tailgate, baseball game, and of course, the actual 40th anniversary celebration.
The celebration was nice, with heavy orderves and a DJ. We received a proclamation from the Arch Chapter which basically said "Epsilon Omega is AWESOME." The best part of the evening was when the set of songs that began with "Shout" was played. All the young guys, and even a few alumni were out there dancing thier socks off, having a blast. It sometimes becomes a moment that is indescribable to others. You just had to be there to know how great it was. This was one of those times. Something abouut cutting a rug, acting a fool, and having a blast on the dance floor, all while sober, makes things fun.
The Macarena...one of my personal highlights of the evening.
Cha-Cha slide maybe? whatever it is we had fun.
Brad, Me, Backpack...one of my best friends and the first man I ever recruited for the fraternity. I am proud of backpack and am proud both these men are my brothers.
Statesboro is about "drunk" and all the awesome stories seem to involve the phrases "I was blackout," or "I had like 15 beers" or "8 shots," or "I was so blackout last night." It gets old. It was great the best story of the weekend was not one of those.
Ross and Kate cutting a rug. I think this was shout.
After the celebration, we went to Dingis. This is one of those stories with key phrases from above, but mostly because of the bottom dollar. And by that I mean dollars spent. Rumours of $500 tabs were abound, but apparantly they topped out in the $450 range. I have never bought so many shots, and never taken so many in a place not named South Padre Island. Our bartender also said he had worked there for 6 years and never seen people spend money like we did that night! Go Delt!
A glimpse into the best night of dingis ever.
Sunday was calm, cool, and half-wasted. It rained, so our golf outing was cancelled. But we did all chill out at Jake's and watched movies.
This was the edited for content version of the weekend, if you were there, it was epic. If you missed it, you suck at life.
