Life on the Cover

For this past edition of the Odyssey I was fortunate enough to get tasked with writing the cover article, an article about the Greeks involved in the Florida Cicerones. It was by far one of my best pieces yet. Check it out!

Trip to the ATL and Tally

After exams were over, Mallory and I drove up to the ATL to visit Jared and Alyssa as well as the Rich family. It was a great time. When we arrived Friday night we went to a really cool brewery in downtown ATL. Saturday morning we woke up and had some of Alyssa's famous waffles before going exploring in downtown ATL which was a lot of fun. After checking out some parks and the CNN center we made our way over to Edgewater Trail where we got to catch up with Reagan Roo and finally got to meet Peyton. It was a great time. Sunday we loaded up and made our way down to Tally and Monday was spent getting a tour of Tally by Mallory which ended with a few drinks with her friends. All in all, it was a great trip

Had to enjoy some 40's since we were in Ga

I think we make a good team, don't you?

This past weekend was my fraternity's annual stranded trip. The way it works is the social chair plans out a two day one night trip for the chapter and you don't find out what you will be doing until you get there. This year we all thought we were going to be going to Orlando to go to an ice bar but instead, we found ourselves in New Port Richey on a Casino Booze Cruise. It was a blast. Mallory and I came away with close to 50 bucks. After playing at the Casino, we made our way down to Tampa where we checked in at a nice hotel and got ready to hit the clubs of Tampa. It was a great time had by all with plenty of crazy stories that only happen on road trips with a frat with  Parsa once again making things interesting for Mallory and I with his date selection...

USC Article

Got another article published in the Odyssey, this one about the USC Roadtrip...

Semi Formal

Last night Mallory's sorority, Phi Mu, had their annual Semi Formal at Rocky's Piano Bar downtown. Even though Mallory was busy doing her rounds as one of the sober monitor's, we still managed to have a great time! Makes me all that much more excited for Delta Chi Stranded in a few weeks!

Yesterday marked my 3rd year helping out the Gator March for Babies 5K. Each year the Gator March for Babies organization (part of the March of Dimes) hosts a 5K to raise money that funds research to aid in the effort of eliminating the causes of prematurity. This year I got to be the event operations director and had a blast. The event went really well and we ended up raising over 75,000 dollars, a 10,000 dollar increase from last year! Im really looking forward to helping out next year, hopefully as the overall logistics director which my big brother served as this year.

One of my wonderful Asst. Directors, Mallory!

Last weekend I had the chance to go to on my first SEC road trip to see the Gators take on University of South Carolina Gamecocks with the Cicerones. I had an absolute blast. On the way up I got to sip on some 40's compliments of the great state of Georgia and once in Columbia on Friday night we hit the town hard exploring their midtown type area known as Five Points.

On Saturday we were back at it at 9 in the morning due to the game starting at 12. The Cocks know how to tailgate but I think I showed them a thing or two, i.e. not being afraid to jump on the train that happened to pass through the fairgrounds where we were tailgating (I must add I didn't spill any of my 40)

After tailgating, we headed over to William Brice Stadium to watch the game. It was a beautiful stadium and even though we lost, we managed to have a great time.

After the game it was back to the hotel to freshen up before hitting the bars again. Once again we had a great time and before we knew it we were packing our bags to make the trek back to Gainesville. Can't wait to go on another road trip next year (hopefully the Boys of Ol Florida might have a little more fight in them next year!)

My C-Fam that went on the trip!
