BOX: THE FEMALE PERSPECTIVE

SATURDAY, JANUARY 4: It seems like everyone at BOX has been waiting for this day forever. No, today is not the first Michigan home game, although I wish it was. However, today is that Quickie Burger will begin serving alcohol for the first time. I heard B. Russ thundering down the stairs this morning, on his way to what will surely be a day of inebriation and poor decisions. As he left, he called back to Peter, “Let’s grab some burgers, grab some brews, and grab some bitches!” I chuckled to myself for a little while, and then rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. As I thought it over, however, I realized that these three pastimes fundamentally comprise the triumvirate of what BOX house is all about. My sorority, Delta Gamma, has built its tradition on courage, strength, and peace. Beta Omega Chi, on the other hand, has built its legendary reputation on greasy food, ALCOHOL, and an endless parade of unsuspecting U of M coeds. My commentary on these three aspects of “living the dream” at BOX house will be posted in three separate installments.
