Sam Walls, Brett Lowry, & Amogh Rajagopal drove to a state park to go fishing.

Over the weekend of February 21 brothers and pledges took a trip to a Christmas wonderland in Blairsville, GA. This getaway allowed brothers to bond with associate members in a relaxed setting, far from the demands of school. The weekend was packed with activities that helped everyone get to know each other better, including a brotherhood movie night, fishing trips, and plenty of basketball games. A special highlight of the retreat was our tug practice, a longstanding tradition that unites the Brotherhood. With Greek Week on the horizon, brothers were eager to get back into action and defend our three-year winning streak in tug. This practice boasted the largest attendance yet, and allowed this tradition to reach out further among the Brotherhood. As Jagat Sachdeva put it, “I really enjoyed tug practice—it’s a great way to bond with brothers and learn from those with more experience.” We’re excited to keep up the momentum and continue building on this tradition. Many brothers simply enjoyed exploring the house and the property, with Brandon Wang sharing, “I really liked the basement game room and the theater downstairs.” With a pool table, shuffleboard, and an array of board games, there was no shortage of things to do.
