Who's House?!

August 2009

My first weekend after school began I went to a Pi Kappa Alpha (PIKE) fundraiser with Jaime, LindsEy, and LindsAy (two girls on our hall). Pike has a bad rep at CSU because they are unaffiliated with the university, however they are still nationally affiliated. You are literally warned about the Pike's by your orientation leader. However, we decided to find out for ourselves. The fundraiser was straight, it was for project smile or something and sponsored by Monster. The rap artists and dj were amazing. We met the Pikes and more specifically, I met Griffin. Post-fundraiser, we were invited to party with them. It was a great night. I remember waking up the next morning with the sun pouring in our room, and having that "I partied too hard to move today" feeling. Everyday should be that way, and after that, it pretty much was.  I didn't know it then but, going to that fundraiser defined the next two years of my life.

The next night we went with Jaime to get a tatt, it was a dinky dove with no shading. Afterwards, Pike hit us up to party. We went to “Booby”’s house, for a little power hour. And by little.. I mean a house packed with people, an industrious pile of beer, and only enough room to stand. It was unforgettable, not because of the party, but because it was the very beginning.
