A great loss

[binks]

I sit here with bad news. The Greek community lost a member on Tuesday March 12th. Adam D. Hogge died in a car accident on tuesday. Adam was an AKL brother at VCU. A bunch of greeks were at Panama City including is fraternity. We we found out the news the whole hotel was quiet. It was a very sad day for us. many lost a friends and some lost a brother. I was not best friends with Adam, but i had asked him to my formal just two weeks before and I was excited.I am very lucky to have met Adam and have had him in my life. I feel sad for the people who will never meet him. It was soo nice to see him in the commons and him with his big smile give me a hug or come talk to me even if i paint all over me or if i looked like i was having a bad day. We will greatly miss Adam!

When you go back to your chapters, just think about sisterhood or brotherhood. It is important. it is really a bond for life! I have never seem soo many grown men weeplike i did this week. the bond we have is never broken, even in death. One thing Adam was known for was being kind to everyone nomatter how different you are. i look at my chapter a different way. forgive your enemies and be understanding like Adam was.

please have Adam's family,friends and brothers in your heart and say a prayer for them. Cherish every moment with your friends and fraternities you never know if it is the last time you will see them.
