Workdays

    It’s Fall Break again and time for another Alpha Rho National Headquarters Workday. This also marks the 3rd annual Alpha Rho campout. For those of you who are not familiar with our chapter, few of our members are able to get out of bed and drive at five o’clock in the morning, so every year we campout in Stillwater, OK the night before our workday. Thanks to a couple of our Membership Candidates and their vans, transportation was a breeze this year. The camping spot we chose this year was the beautiful Lake McMurty. Hard to find as it may be, this small local lake proved to be ideal for our needs. We had our small section of the lake to ourselves equipped with our own beach (kind of). Like last year, a few of our more adventurous members took a few of our Membership Candidates on an early morning polar bear swim. The water turned out to be just as refreshing and just as cold as last year. In the usual mad panic we leave camp in every year to get to the train station on time, breakfast was cut short. There were no “biscuits on a stick” this year and no time for our president, Aaron Smith, and me to cook our special bacon. Nothing ever goes according to plan and we proved that this year, but in that Alpha Rho spirit, Aaron and I fired up that grill at the National office and cooked out bacon then fried the biscuits in the bacon grease. To wrap things up, we all had a great time again this year and, personally, I am already planning on next years trip.

AEA,

Alpha Rho
