Pete and Lisa's Reception

When Dave pledeged to Kappa Sig, I cried. The only concept I had of fraternities was from Hollywood. Scenes from Animal House rushed through my mind, and I feared that Dave would tire of dating me, breaking up with me for all the girls that fraternity boys attract. Dave assured me that my Hollywood image was not true. A month or so later, I learned one of the benefits of having a brotherhood on campus when Dave and I were in a car accident in Atlanta. After being cut from my car by the jaws of life and taken to Georiga Baptist Hospital, Dave called the house phone to ask for a ride back to campus. Not having to wait at the hospital for two hours while my parents drove to Atlanta was a God-send. Ray picked us up and drove us back to the house, making me a devotee of Kappa Sigma.
I tell this story because Dave lived in the house for five years, cultivating friendships that will last a lifetime. Since we moved away from Atlanta following our marriage, we do not get to see these guys (and the girlfriends like me that became wives) very often. Pete and Lisa's wedding was a great opportunity to catch up with everyone.
