What was YOUR most beautiful CL experience?

[the411]

In the name of (whisper) Coleman Love , and in an effort to show the world that the bond is still tight, I want to know what your best example (from your personal experiences) of Coleman Love is.

I have MANY stories I could share, one of which involves a phenomenal Omega Man to whom I could never say "Thank You" enough; however, I'll keep that fairtytale to myself. I just hope he knows who he is .

Anyway, one incident that stands out took place in September '97 at the annual OSU fall icebreaker sponsored by the sorors of Epsilon chapter. It was my first fall ice breaker as a Delta, so I was more than geeked! Well, as usual, there was a HUGE crowd of folks lined up outside waiting to get in. Of course, being a Delta and all, my spec and I just moseyed on to the front of the line and skipped "errybody" to greet our sorors and frat. After a while, things got a little rowdy outside. People were pushing and shoving to get inside, and things got so out of hand that the sorors had to go outside and link up to keep people from rushing the door. Of course, we let sorors and frat "break the chain" to get in, but that was it. Apparently folks got ticked about that, and the pushing and shoving got worse and worse. People were getting squished against the door or the wall, and a few folks got knocked down and stepped on . Helicoptors were flying all over the place and the police came through to "tame" the crowd, but to no avail. Next thing we know, the police started macing the crowd. My sorors and I didn't know it at first. All I remember was a few Iota Psi bruhs grabbing sorors (nobody else-- JUST sorors) and pushing us inside so that we wouldn't get maced or trampled. It was scary at first, but none of us (to my knowledge) were hurt. It was just so beautiful to see the bruhs so protective of their sisters in greekdom.

We ended up having to stop the party and kick everyone out. The bruhs helped us do that, too ('cuz kickin' black folks out of a party ain't easy).

Thanks Omega Men for always being there when we need you the most!

OOP-ROO!

And I'm Out!
