November 2019: Fun, Friends, and Fratsgiving

This November went by in a flash! It was extremely busy for us; we had our fall formal, elections for executive council, and Fratsgiving! Formal was a blast! We booked 425 Downtown, invited alumni, and had a great time dancing with our dates and friends!

Elections were very competitive this year. We are lucky to have such qualified candidates for executive positions in this chapter! Our President, returning for his second term, is Christopher Kollmeyer! Our Vice President, the former chair of recruitment, is Caleb Conaway. Also returning for his second term as Treasurer is Matthew Keeling (yes, he is that tall). We are proud of our newly elected Secretary, Joseph Dale, a new member who just initiated in October! Our Risk Manager is Carter Lipari. Our new Recruitment Chair is Sage Kaneko. We are excited for what they will do over the next year!

For Fratsgiving this year, the freshmen were in charge of deserts, sophomores were in charge of potato dishes, juniors were in charge of side dishes, and seniors made the turkeys. We put our culinary skills to the test and are proud to announce that everything was delicious! Fratsgiving is about community, brotherhood, and giving thanks. Each member invited one guest, we dressed up a bit, and shared an amazing meal with equally as amazing friends. In the spirit of thanksgiving, we extended an invitation to Ingrid Hintze. She is leaving Drury after years working in the cafeteria. She is an extremely kind and cheerful woman and always manages to put a smile on our faces. We wanted to thank her for her years of service. We were glad to have her share in our dinner and fellowship.

Over Thanksgiving break, we got to spend time with family and old friends. We're excited to tackle December finals, winter break, New Year Leadership Conference, retreat, and start next year rejuvenated and ready for a new semester!
