Oh I have the cutest story that almost made me cry.

We had Parent's Day before a Football game one Saturday. Before games, all the student orgs. set up tents in what we call the district. Well our tent was right next to the PIKE tent, and my Dad was president of the PIKES when we was in college (at the same school).

He really wanted a beer, and I told him to just go over and ask them, they love alumni. He was like no, they wouldn't want to talkt o an old man like me. I finally talked him into going over there, and about 15 minutes later he came back with a cup full of beer and said (with his eyes watering mind you): "My brothers just gave me a beer." Oh my god...it makes me want to cry thinking about it.

My brother didn't do the whole greek thing, but now that I am really involved, I think my dad is beginning to get back in touch with some of his old fraternity brothers. I was even trying to find something in the dining room the other day, and I openned up one of the drawers and found 3 pictures of him and his dates back in college. 2 were from a toga party and one was from a Christmas formal.

My dad loved his fraternity...it just made me so happy that day were he didn't thinkt hey'd pay him any attention and he came back with a grin on his face calling them his "brothers."

I LOVED this story!!!
