Gammies n’ Jammies / Founders Day Brotherhood
Last night was Gammies n’ Jammies as well as Delta Chi’s Founders day, which also happens to be our Thursday night Brotherhood.
I got to the house around 6:30 PM after missing a meeting at school to study our education and a few of the guys were already starting up the night chilling with some beers. The plan was to head over to Gammies n’ Jammies around 7:30 PM so that we would get there when the party had started. Johnny gave me a ring around 7:30 PM and asked if we were on our way over and I let him know I’d try to get everyone motivated…well, 30 minutes later we finally got initiative to go.
On our way from the parking garage and almost to the event, two guys with two girls were chilling on the side when one of the guys made the comment “I f****** hate Delta Chi’s.” Gonzo was the first one to turn around, and the rest of us followed. Apparently Gonzo knew who they were so he retorted, “Well I f****** hate Pi Kapps.” At this point in time things started to heat up, and the two girls tried to defuse the situation saying that he was drunk, and a few of our guys got Gonzo and we went in to the dance.
Once in side it was pretty fun, I have to agree with what Johnny had told me about there being more girls then guys, since when we got there that’s the way it was, but by 9:00 PM the ratio had shifted. At 9:30 PM more drama started to happen so Eric decided that it would just be better to leave Gammies n’ Jammies all together and go back to the house then to have something get out of hand. We were on our way out, when what do I witness happening again? The same guy is fronting up to Gonzo trying to pick a fight, setting up time and place. Gonzo and a few of the other guys were down, but some of the Pi Kapps came to talk to us and try to defuse it before it got that far. Eventually everyone calmed down, and we set out for the house.
I wonder why people feel the need to start crap when all we’re trying to do is go to have a fun time. Who knows, maybe it stems out from our sports competitiveness, or maybe it’s because the Pi Kapps, as well as two other fraternities are on probation and can’t have parties that pisses them off. Who knows. /shrug
All in all everything went well, no fights occurred, and we all enjoyed the rest of the night at the house having a few brews, dancing, celebrating, smoking, eating, and whatever else we did.
In the end, my Big Bro Julian took me out to get some Del Taco, so that was sick and topped off the night of fun.
