Brotherhood Retreat 2011 05/30/2011
Matt Sutton '12 What an incredible weekend. We had Joe Riley giving shooting lessons, John Buttram offering up his rifle for target practice, Liam and Grady tipping a canoe and going for a swim, a day-long Lord of the Rings Marathon, Panda momentarily redeeming his role as Warden, and Craig Cilley giving architectural tours (thanks to Hayden's expertly crafted guide) and being an all-around incredible host. There were trips to Moe's and Dairy Queen. There were tears of joy and sadness as we expertly carried out the evening's traditions. Above all of this, there was a strong sense of brotherhood and camaraderie as we shared a relaxing weekend at the Cilley's incredible plantation. Coming out of this trip, I wonder just what it is that makes the weekend of Brotherhood Retreat so great and brings us all so close together. It's the moments spent catching up with a fellow Phi that you haven't seen in awhile. It's bonding around important traditions. It's the 2:00am tree-house chats about life, love, and brotherhood. It's the time spent with your closest friends in life. I am so grateful for experiences like these, and I want to thank you all for coming out and making this another incredible Brotherhood Retreat Remember why you joined Phi Delt- for times like these. Proud to be a Phi. CommentsLeave a Reply |
