September 3rd 2007
Bulls baseball, UNC football, Paintball events
The first 3 events of Rush for fall of 2007 have been incredible. Following the Fraternity and Sorority Life “Rush Kickoff” on Friday afternoon, Delta Sigs and friends went out to the Durham Bulls game and had a blast. Some good hitting Friday evening created an early lead for the Bulls which they held onto in order to win 7-3 against Charlotte.
Saturday morning several of the brothers worked really hard to get ready for the tailgate which was held in the Cardinal parking deck across from the hospital. We had such a good turnout of brothers, alumni, and rushes that we ran out of most of the food (which was alot by the way!). Several of the alumni joined the group after a morning round of golf at the local Finley course near the university. A buffet of burgers, hot dogs, and some awesome “spicy honey barbeque” chicken legs (courtesy of Adam Disher) were served and everyone had a great time. Luckily the cloud cover and breeze made it just cool enough so it was very comfortable. After walking to the stadium brothers, alumni, and friends alike watched Butch Davis and crew put on one of the most impressive games that Carolina football has seen in a while. The game came to an end at 37-14 in front of a sold-out, absolutely wild Tar Heel crowd. We can only look forward to the ECU game with high hopes and expectations.
On Sunday, after the remaining alumni in town graciously treated the brothers to breakfast at Time Out restaurant on Franklin Street, a group of about 15 brothers and rushes traveled to Gotcha paintball in Raleigh. Once there we proceeded to earn our war medals (bruises) by shooting our way to win the game. Everyone definitely had a great time and at this point I would think it’s safe to say that paintball will likely be another rush event for the Spring. Regardless of skill level, everyone came out either dirty, bruised, or paint-covered. For reference, if anyone would like proof of our “war medals”, don’t hesitate to contact Eddie or Sebastian (i think they probably got it the worst)!
All in all, having had 3 excellent days of events and fun with alumni and friends we look forward to not only the rush events still to come this week, but also to more planned events centered around brotherhood, alumni relations, and leadership. Hope to see everyone out this week or later on in the semester!
