Supporting Other Chapters

[EE-BO]

Here in Texas all the chapters support each other. The home chapter will often host the guest chapter for football games. And this past year the University of Texas chapter invited other Texas chapters to the annual alumni golf tournament.

Back when I was an active we did much the same.

And at Georgia we really had fun with it. Every fall semester, groups of us would visit other chapters and spend the weekend for football games. And we hosted other chapters for game weekends as well.

Those were some of the best times I had. In 1995 when I was a pledge, a few of us went to Auburn for the UGA vs. Auburn game. I snuck in with a few others and we sat on the 40 yard line and watched UGA break Auburn's 2 year winning streak with a 20-20 tie game!

When we got back to the house, we quickly got the impression that the Auburn guys were pretty upset about Georgia breaking their winning streak (we weren't even ranked that year) and that Georgia guys were always welcome- but maybe not tonight.

So we took the hint, snagged a few Auburn Beta T-shirts from a couple of bedrooms in the house (I still have mine- a 1994 ADPi-Beta mixer Tshirt), pretended we were Auburn students and crashed at the Lambda Chi house after one of the best band parties I have ever been to in my life (Sylvester was the headliner that night- red jumpsuit and all!)
