-Big bro/Lil bro retreats
-Brothers Only retreats
-Family trees (colors on our letter sweaters denote which family we belong to)
-Informal families (Buddhas, Buddhasses, Seahorses, and Buffaloes just to name a few)
-We hold a Turtle installation ceremony immediately after initiation
-Pactolus (PM me about this one ya'll): The APO Witch Project
-Adventure Week (from pledgehood to brotherhood)
-Pledge class gives gift to chapter at end of pledgehood
-Semi-formal each semester
-Whitewater rafting in West Virginia

.......for more info, just PM me
OMG, I remember Heaven & Hell! Easy to do with the four brothers who lived just off campus when I was a nibble. And a TURTLE ceremony?!? Outstanding! I shared that experience with Alpha Gamma Mu.

Our pledge classes went by letter, and we did have the occasional theme running through nicknames (Kermit's little was Animal, whose little was Fozzy...). My branch of the family tree was the only one that was a straight line, but we can all tie knots in cherry stems.
