The TKE Formal





Last weekend my fraternity had its annual formal and they really went all out for it this year. Most of the other Greek organizations on campus will go to one of the campus buildings or one of the 4 restaurants around Beloit for their formals but not us we went to Chicago's Shed Aquarium.

It was quite the get from what I here. Apparently we beat out Toyota for that Saturday night. We left the campus around 5pm after a little pre-party at the house and our bus got down to the aquarium by about 7pm. First they herded us into the big amphitheater with the dolphins and beluga whales. It was soooooo cool, it was only us in there and we could walk right up to the sides of the tanks! After that we went into the main area of the museum where they had set up tables around the Caribbean reef exhibit. We had an amazing meal and got to listen to some very interesting senior's speeches. The rest of the time there we were allowed to walk around the aquarium and see the fish at our own pace.

It was an amazing night and I have certainly never been to such a classy place and event.
