Fun Stuff
So the last few days I had some fun things going on in Albion. First off on Saturday my chapter Brothers from WMU came over for a mini-retreat. We grilled chicken and brats, made plans for the semester, talked about recruitment, squashed some personal issues, and just hung out. It was a good time. I miss those guys and I am excited for the direction of the group now.

Ish, Rudy and Raul... chillin in front of my apartment.

Ben the Neo brought Hot Sauce... they know I don't keep hot stuff here.

Then Saturday was the best... OLA and Union Board had a Salsa program for Hispanic Heritage Month. We had a band from Chicago come and they were great. I miss dancing to Latin Music. So it was just a lot of fun, and the turn out was great. I was glad to see the Albion students really appreciating the culture. I danced with some great partners which was a lot of fun. Jennifer even broke it down withe the instructor, he was so good! I miss Latin Night once a week like in Kalamazoo.

The band was from Salsachicago.com.

Many of the students take dance class at Albion and knew the steps.

The room looked awesome and was packed most of the night.

I busted out my Cuban shirt and had a blast dancing.

Sunday was a four hour long sorority recruitment training workshop. Which surprisingly was a good time, I enjoy sorority recruitment more then any man should. We talked about fun topics like Facebook, our new online recruitment program, and then my Master Schedule (my spreadsheet with recruitment planned out in five minute intervals).

Monday was the Panhellenic new member program. I love this program they have here at Albion. Each sorority introduces all of their new members to the rest of the sorority women. They talk a little about their chapter history and then welcome their new members to Greek Life. Then while their new members are on stage they sing one of their chapter songs to them. Last year I started asking them to take a huge all sorority picture after the event. It is a lot of fun.

All the sorority women come, nearly 300 women attend.

Each chapter brings their women on stage for their introduction.

Today was just a long meeting day... I did get to talk to my mom tonight. Today was her last day teaching... I know she is very sad about having to give it up. Because of her health she can just no longer work, and I know if she could she would still work. I am glad she is taking a break, she deserves it! Enjoy it mom.

Thinking of my moms retirement... makes me scared of the next 40 years of my life I will spend working. Craziness.
