63rd Grand Chapter Update

So not much has been going on in Austin, today was the first official day of business with the opening ceremonies, state of the fraternity report, and the opening of ritual (which by the way I love doing ritual in my own chapter, but when you do it with over 600 brothers from all over, it’s nothing short of amazing. It’s been definitely one of the highlights of my trip so far). The business sessions were exactly what you think they would be, long and long. Everything started at 9 and was suppose to run till 5pm, sure enough, it ran close to an hour over schedule, and ended at around 6:30 or so. Thought most brothers were done for the day, unless they wanted to go to some of the information session, I had to go and be on the Finance committee for Grand Chapter. So what was supposed to be a 9-5 or 6:30 day for most people, for me it was a 9 - 10:30/11. Most of the brothers usually hit up 6th street which is where most of the bars are at (actually all of the bars). The most popular bar seems to be one called Sapphire. Most of the bartenders there are Sigma Nu’s from Texas and it’s owned by a Sigma Nu, so sure enough you walked in there Friday and Saturday and that place was bombarded by brothers. The bartenders there would hook it up with free drinks and shots all night. Most places there had $2 any drinks, and let me tell you my money has never gotten me as a far as it has these days.
