Well sneak has come and gone, and it was great time, although the overall feeling among the guys who went was that it could ahve been much better. The K-state house was really pretty nice and our chapters are really very, very, very similar in terms of the types of guys in the house. Although it was obvious to me how Alpha Tau's reorganization a couple of years ago is still having an effect on our reputation today. The K-state Betas were getting some very hot ladies, while I think we are still in process of building our social reputation still.
Anyway, a lot of guys were dissappointed b/c there was a lack of parties during the weekend. Friday wasn't as bad b/c we drank on the bus ride down, but there was only a sausage fest that night at one of their live-outs house. But I had a great time hanging out with my best friend from HS (a GDI right now--he might go DU for some reason next fall), and another guy who we ski with a lot.
Saturday however wasn't the best, I couldn't get a hold of any of the people that I know (I'm from Kansas City so I know tons of people at K-state). The Gamma Epislon's had a rush event that afternoon, so the Alpha Taus just watched football (man if only VA Tech would have won
) That night K-states' pledge class had what we at AT would call a frosh (where the freshmen of a frat and sorority go do some activity - bowling, or the like - and then go party, we usually have ours on thursdays), but apperntly the KSU greek system doesn't have those normally. Any way they took the Pi Beta Phis to Kansas City for ice skating and shopping at the world famous Country Club Plaza and then partying at someone's house. So there were very few GE's around on saturday. Needless to say the AT's were an unhappy crew as we sat around and watched Colorado and Texas play and played pitch. A lot of people were upset that our hosts werent' more accomodating.
I got begged to go to KC by the four pledges I already knew, and by a 5th who we realized we had gone to HS soccer camp for three years. Also, one of the Pi Phi freshmen really wante me to go. Needless to say, I wasn't going to ditch my pledge bros, plus there would have been a lot of risk associated with my travel, and I could have ended up not making it back to UNL.
Still I had a good time, and brotherhood did rise a bit which is never a bad thing.
