The second Processional I was in was held by my chapter at Illinois State upon our chartering. We marched through campus passing most fraternities and sororities. As we did so, each brother held up their lantern as he passed the front door of the fraternity or sorority. This was done as a sign of respect. This was alot of fun, as we had a police escort both in front of the processional and the rear with their squad cars flashing red lighs on!

Oye, hope you all had your hiking boots on for that march...Bethany is a hilly campus! I would really like to see that sometime, I think it'd be neat.
The other night, I was in my bedroom and all of a sudden, some sort of march went on. I couldn't figure out who it was because it was PITCH BLACK outside, but it was definitely a fraternity...the song was odd, it mentioned Omega Psi Phi, and Alpha Sigma Phi and Alpha Sigma something and a whole bunch of others. I couldn't put my finger on WHO was singing it though, but it was really neat to hear.
