Love them or hate them, but the A-Phi-Ques have singlehandedly made the cookout an event to the degree that it is the next best thing to attending the National Convention.

Yeah so how come I haven't seen you there in forever? :p

If I'm out of my lane, sorry...but I would hope that people would know the difference between the Cookout and a Convention. We get NO BUSINESS done at the Cookout :D

This is true. No business gets done at the cookout.

It's usually sometime in the summer.

Because after making 3-4 road trips (most of them I was driving by myself) to and from Atlanta and Tuscaloosa, AL for 25/52 functions within a 9 month period (back in '97-98), I resolved I wasn't going to make anymore long road trips by myself. 9-12 hour drives going solo simply isn't the business. Now that I think about it, I don't know why I haven't thought of flying down to ATL.

P.S. Happy 55th Founder's Day!!! 25/52 love forever!!!

Well, the fact I was referring to the brotherhood and frat/soror camaradie being the common denominator between the Convention and the Cookout notwithstanding...

...in regards to the above quotes, actually, that's not 100% true--depending on what year you are talking about. There has actually been some business going on during or immediately before the Cookout.

Well that IS true frat. But from what it looks like, that won't be happening again anytime soon. I know the sorors haven't had a "meeting" since 2005.

Yes get on a plane for next summer! The Cookout has REALLY REALLY changed in the last few years! LOL so much bigger...so much badder...I feel old for real sometimes being there. But I still have a great time.
