My Junior year at Davidson was one for the books. I was still living off-campus with Beaux, Fitz and the wildcard of the Spring Semester Aaron Baila. Aaron was a senior Phi-Delt that graduated early and instead of starting his job at Dell in the winter he decided that he, and the rest of the campus, would be better suited if he stayed to live it up for a 'class-less' spring semester. Aaron staying at Davidson for the spring meant more Monday-Thursday parties at the apartment and more chicken parmesan at the dinning facility (he worked as a 'lunch lady' to make extra beer money hahah, I wish I was making it up, hairnet and all). The year was filled with epic Phi-Delt originals like, Airband, Christmas Cocktails, Blackout Beach Party, The Uniform Party (picture on top) and Ladies Night. Along with these, the fraternity runs the Bench-press for Breast Cancer fundraiser where all the football players get paid by participating students based on how many reps of 225 lbs they could do. (The bench-press racks are placed in the middle of campus to draw the biggest crowd and all money is donated to Breast Cancer research) -Pictures Below!

The great times kept rolling as we followed our Men's Basketball team to a Southern Conference Championship and pilled into our Student Union to watch them play Maryland in the first round of the '07 NCAA tournament.  Although we took at 10 point lose, it gave the team the experience it was going to need for the next years run. Picture below is my buddy Thomas Sander getting embarrassed...he will never live down this photo. The next sports in-line was baseball, in which we supported many of our fellow Phi-Delts as they took the field for the 2007 season. We cheered, berated, sang, laughed and had a drink or two for every Davidson home game. The videos below will paint a pretty clear picture of what right field was all about and why opposing teams/players still tell me how much they looked forward to or hated playing us.     

      

Along with baseball season, we participated in Spring Formals, like the Connor Formal (picture top right), and our own Phi-Delt Spring Formal. Our Spring Formals were legendary at the fan favorite Rock Quarry and deserve there own post...I will produce one in good time. Another Davidson tradition is Spring Frolics which is a campus sponsored party that stretches from Thursday through Sunday in late April. Walking through campus you will see carnival rides, games,  HUGE slip & slides, bands playing on fraternity porches (Nappy Roots in '07) and 'on-by-the-way' about 5 kidi-pools full of beer / horse shoe games / beach volleyball / corn-hole tournaments and a peluthra of shenanigans in the Phi-Delt hosted party. Its called Spring Frolics and FROLIC we did!!!

When it was all said and done, 2006-07 at Davidson College was an unreal experience and was worth every all-nighter, 15 page paper and absurdly boring lecture by ten-fold. Each year was getting better and I couldn't imagine what my senior year would bring.
