Semester Winding Down

The semester will soon be wrapping up here at Montana State University.  It is currently pretty quiet inside the AGR house as brothers are busy studying for upcoming finals next week and finishing up projects for their classes.  Last weekend did offer the brothers an opportunity to have some fun, however, before studying had to set in.  Last Friday night was the annual Stag-party where the brothers close the house and have an evening with just the active brothers as they reminisce about the accomplishments of the past year and look forward to the year to come.  Saturday morning saw many members of Alpha Gamma Rho at Bobcat Stadium for the second round of the FCS playoffs against North Dakota State University.  Unfortunately, our Bobcats made some errors down the stretch and were not able to overcome the Bison.  Putting the loss out of their minds the brothers carried on as they held the annual Winter Formal, Christmas Party on Saturday evening.  A good time was had by all and Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and a couple of elves were even witnessed at the event.  Overall, it was a good weekend, but it is back to work as usual here at 1707 Greekway.
