Phi-Delt Spring Formal is not only the most looked forward to, culminating event of the year it is also a damn classy formal. And by classy I mean we drank red wine and had a sit-down dinner at a wedding ceremony location for the first/only time of the year.  Then event starts with all Phi-Delt brothers meeting at the Delta House with their 'stunning' dates to take pictures (because its the first/last time you will see us in a shirt and tie), drink champaign (I'm talking Andre, not anything good) and begin get mentally ready for the night we have ahead of us. When the time came we piled into coach buses began the 20 minute drive to the Carrigan Farms Rock Quarry. Upon arrival we parked in a huge field (that looks to be in the middle of know where with no water in site) and then preceded to walk into the trees, down a stone path where it opens up into one of the most amazing sites a Delta could imagine. (Click on the Rock Quarry link above for some awesome pics) The sequence of events usually went something like this.


LET THE DANCING BEGIN
1) Arrive at the Phi-Delt Meca
2) Take memorable group pictures with the Quarry in the background.
3) Eat amazing Steak and Potatoes Dinner made by Quarry Staff.
4) Continue eating the Steak Dinner until there was no more steak available
5) Finish the wine (because it was the most expensive)
6) Great band begins playing all of the Phi-Favorites
7) Epic Senior Speech takes place - Junior Speaker roasts / congratulates  / idolizes Seniors for their amazing four years. The speech our class gave has been enshrined at the Delta House ever since. (pic. middle right)
8) The dance floor becomes alive with great dancing and (pic. top right)
9) Begin focusing on the ten kegs of Carolina Blonde
10) Shirts-Off with Tie pictures become more frequent (below)
11) Someone gets naked and cliff-dives into Quarry and swims to dock
12) #11 starts a chain reaction....

13) Try to find your way and not miss buses back to Davidson
14) Recover Stragglers (pic. bottom right)  
15) Return to Delta House --- Keep It Going!!!!



That should give you an idea of how the Phi-Delt Spring Formal usually goes. There are a hundred of stories and moments that I will never forget and I know none of the guys/girls that were there will either. UNREAL -UNBELIEVABLE - UNTHINKABLE - UNREALISTIC TO HAVE THIS MUCH FUN!!!
