Formals

Haven't been to a formal since prom senior year. Well I guess you could consider the formals at AIESEC conferences.

Friday night was the Alpha Phi sorority formal at Aria Trattoria. Besides pledging TKE for a week, I've had little interaction with the GWU greek community. We pregamed at the sorority house...fruity vodka, sake, orange juice, etc. All beverages that were fairly despicable. Vodka watermelon and Coke turned out alright.

We made it to the formal site at around 930. At this point I was leading 6 sorority girls that had long forgotten how to speak English and were strictly communicating in broken Spanish. Some actually didn't remember the rest of the night. The event was over by 11 PM because the Greek people were so wasted that they either got sick or just left because their dates were sick. Besides being somewhat of a disaster, it was an insanely fun evening, there was great food and I got to meet some cool people.

Next night was the International Affairs Society. My recommendation: take a riverboat cruise. Although it was the Potomac, it was an unforgettable experience. What followed was not so much. Bud Ice Keg. End of story.

I finished off the weekend with a traditional Eastern Orthodox meal. This thing lasted 6 hours! I had so much food and wine that I fell asleep at 945 PM last night. Ridiculous.

Working for Good is coming up. I've been going over the curriculum and the writing is amazing. Although AIESEC DC is participating in the video conference, all AIESECers are welcome to read the materials and watch the video conference. Make sure to check out www.workingforgood.com.
