Hey ZZ,
Got your last email. As you know I am a George Mason Beta Alumni. When I was in school I went on a few road trips. Your list is quite impressive I must say. I went on a road trip to Virginia Tech(Alpha Phi Chapter). They had a Betastock party out in some field around Tech. It was supposed to be an all day party. It was loads of fun, three bands and there must of been hundreds of VT Greeks there. Though the party was cut short and all 500 of us had to pound our beers at the same time. Quite a sight I must say. Then later we got on the Beta Bus, shuttled over to the best burgers in town at Arnolds, and then went to a Theta Chi party. One fall semester I went with 3 other brothers to U of I. in Champaigne. One of my brothers is from that area and we stayed there for three nights during a fall break. I was quite impressed with the greek system there and the Beta House. They had a block party one of the nights with two other fraternities and three other sororities. Something I had never experience outside of our Beach Week(George Mason Greeks have one at Myrtle Beach, SC.). I remember we went to two other bars that night but the names I cant remember.
On our drive back to Virginia we stayed at the Ohio State house and a Beta named Doug took us out on the town. He was very hospitable and we got to go to a place that had 5 cent pitchers and 1 dollar shooters. We crashed in the house that night and they were very cool about it. So, Virginia Tech, U of I. and Ohio State. You boys rock!
Other Trips I've been on are U of Maryland our founding chapter. They have a nice house on the row at College Park and I went to a party of theres were they showed me a great time
Last fall I visited SIU and a Beta named Andy showed me around campus there and the Beta House. They have a sweet house there too and I noticed that they have a sweet Sisson Award. My chapter never had a house and we just used one of the houses we lived in off campus as Beta House. It was definitely an awesome feeling to visit other chapters that had houses.
Yours in __KAI__
