A "Top Ten" Night...

What a great weekend. I spent the past weekend in Kansas City with Brothers from across the country for Grand Chapter. It was a excellent weekend. I had to give several speeches/presentations, and while I don’t ever consider my public speaking skills “good,” I would say that I am satisfied with several of the speeches/presentations and the ones that I wasn’t satisfied with, I know why.

There is so much I can write about the weekend, but the highlight for me was Saturday night. I have to say that the night is probably in my top ten, if not in my top 5, most memorable times with Phi Sigma Pi. The night started with Grand Chapter business finishing up—that’s right, business was finished on Saturday and there was no need for Sunday business. I won reelection and was in a good mood. A group of us went to the bar (ok, really a restaurant with a lounge section) on top of the hotel and had a few drinks. Slowly but surely, we succeeded in taking over the lounge area—Brothers were on both sides of a group of non-brothers and they eventually left. After this bar closed, a group of us went to Westport where the streets are shut down for the bars. We went to a local bar which was quite good and proceeded to have a grand ole time. I lost several games of pool (methinks Fresh is a hustler) but was forced by my roommate to do several shots. And yes, he tried to make me do the nastiest shots available (Prairie Fire, Wild Turkey, etc). Needless to say, I was a little banged up and other people were a lot worse (not mentioning any names J.G.). So we went back to the hotel after 3am closing and tried to order food from Munchiez. While they proclaim to be open til 4:20, they were closed. So I ate Gabe’s doughnuts instead. Then a small group of us decided to go to the sauna (not sure why) and instead, found a group of brothers in the swimming pool/hot tub area. Now it’s 3:15 and the pool is officially closed til 5. However, we took over the pool. More and more brothers kept showing up and everyone was going swimming in their clothing (some changed). Swimming went on until 7am. It was a fantastic time with over 75 brothers filtering through (high point had about 40 brothers present).

During this pool time, one of the greatest speeches of Phi Sigma Pi was given. It went something like this:“Listen up. Hey. Everybody. Listen up. It’s 5am and the pool is officially open. I am in the pool in my jeans. We’re going to do a brotherhood check. 1…2…3…Brotherhood check!”

It was short, sweet, to the point, and coming from JG, it was great. FUN FACT: the pool is on the 5th floor roof (2 buildings made up the hotel) and there are claims that the 5am brotherhood check was heard on the 23rd floor. Absolutely amazing!

Ok, that’s about it for this post—more highlights to come.
