Wow - what a weekend it has been! As promised, I come with updates (and pictures!)Friday night was the night of Delta Upsilon Fraternity's formal. It was held at Fountain Square Theatre in Indianapolis (they also offer swing dancing every other Friday... so fun)! Here's a picture of the sign as we pulled up in our limos (...I think they had a little spelling mistake...hehe. And don't think we're weird for putting our hands on our head like that. It's something we do in Alpha Phi (It's called the Phi-Bear)). We had dinner and danced the night away for almost 5 hours! Here are some more pictures
of my friends and me at the dance! We ended the night with a bite to eat at Steak 'n Shake headed to bed in the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever been in... :)Even though I didn't think it was possible, Saturday was even better. My sorority, Alpha Phi, held our annual 'Dad's Day' event - complete with tailgating, a DPU home football game, happy hour and dinner. My dad arrived around 11am to have a quick bite to eat at the sorority house, and then we headed early to the game to tailgate. What we weren't expecting, was how cold..no...FREEZING it was going to be. I'm guessing it was probably 30 degrees - but that did not stop the tigers from tailgating!! We beat Rhodes 28-12...and next week is the MONON BELL game.
Monon is one of my most favorite DePauw traditions. Monon is a football game we play every year against Wabash College. This year the game is at Wabash - and we're going to win! But I digress from Dad's Day....After the football game, we took our Dads to the Fluttering Duck, a sports bar and grill located on campus, for a happy hour and buffet dinner. It was so nice to have my Dad here, meeting all of my girlfriends and their Dad's. After dinner (and a quick nap) we took our Dad's out. Here is a picture of some of my friends and their Dads. After a long night, we ended at Marvin's, a local DePauw hotspot famous for thier GCB's (Garlic Cheese Burgers). I dropped my Dad off at the Walden Inn, a quaint hotel located on campus, and went back to Alpha Phi for a much needed sleep.
Sunday was all about catching up on homework and watching the Green Bay Packers football game (we lost to the Vikings).
This weekend was all about formals, family and football... It really could not have been more perfect. Get ready for MONON this Saturday 11.15.08. Tune in to ESPN to watch the DePauw Tigers beat the Little Giants at Wabash.
Get excited!
