Well Met in St. Louis

From mid-50's, to low 30's with rain, sleet, and snow, to a balmy 72... I'm surprised I'm not home in bed still. This weather is going to be the end of me, I swear!

At any rate, I'd like to say thank you again to the brothers of Beta chapter for showing me an absolutely incredible time this past weekend in St. Louis! Not only did I witness the induction of four new brothers into their ranks, but I spent an amazing weekend catching up with an old Kappa friend of mine (he's not old, it had just been a while since we'd caught up), exploring the blues-laden area of the Loop on Delmar, hung out with the brothers Rumbach, drove through Illinois, and enjoyed some of the best (if not THE best) barbecue in my life! What a full weekend! I only wish it could have lasted longer.

Okay, I also wish it wasn't so unbelievably cold on Saturday night, nor the sleeping on the cold concrete part, but that was almost amusing in the end.

In other news, I've made some updates on the National website, www.alphadeltagamma.org. You can now pay your convention registration fee online, but hurry! It is currently at the early-bird special of $125, but that will increase to the regular fee of $150 as of June 1st. Check out the store page, and look to the bottom left link there, Pay Convention Fee, or, more directly, you can click on this link to take you straight to the page: www.alphadeltagamma.org/store/conventionfee.html. Note, when you see the Paypal page open up, you might need to remove the $165 option first. We're still ironing out the bugs. Long story.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there! This promises to be a very exciting, fun-filled week, with less meetings and more time to spend amongst brothers, both active and alumni! If you have any questions, as always, just let me know!

Until next post...

Cheers,
