  • I am a big fan of comparison photos.  Change is cool.  Growth is cool.  Bigger and better is cool. And this year, that is what Phi Ball was.  Every year Alpha Phi is gaining momentum.  I am so proud to have been part of it.

  • Julie sends me an email with photos attached: "5 pictures of the same thing.  sign of a good night :)" Clearly, she is in the know. I would post them all, because I know censorship is bad.  But so is The Attack of the Malibu Rum. Yes, that is the best one.
