Ole Miss Tailgate It was sad day to see our last home game of the year until 2024, but turned out for the better with a huge win the Ole Miss game. Starting off the weekend with Jam4Cam on Friday, and then on Saturday, an awesome tailgate before watching another Dawgs win under the lights. Upwards of around 1,000 people showed up and as you can imagine, the Dawgs heavily outnumbered the few Rebels that were in attendance. At least they were able to experience what a good time really is. Grandville stepped up and put on an awesome performance and Clarke’s bar never disappoints. This fall went smoothly thanks to previous social chair Dimitri Nakis and everyone that helped out. Until next year Sanford, until next year. – Troy Schmidt |
Franzia November 30th marked the last hoorah for the chapter prior to buckling down in preparation for a stressful exam season with our annual Franzia french themed date night. The house truly turned into a chalet as Christmas lights sparkled in the trees surrounding the house among Charcuterie boards, red carpets, lights strung from the indoor ceilings, glow-up Eiffel Towers illuminating dinner tables as a cellist, guitarist, and a violinist set the scene for a beautiful night in Paris. Although some folks have never been out of the country, our French date night did an incredible job setting the mood of an authentic night in Paris. – Philip Wilder |
