It will be on Sunday April 11 @ 9PM (right after brotherhood meeting). The location is still being determined, but it will definitely be in either York West or East Multipurpose Room. We will be playing games and having fun while Taylor M. teaches everyone linedances. Beginner's are definitely welcome :-). Also, you will be learning some awesome dances just in time for formal! So come out and have fun with your brothers!

Beach Cleanup: 11am-whenever on Saturday, April 17th. We will meet at 11am and hand out directions to the beach we will be going to, then head on there.

Brothers can leave anytime they want, but are encouraged to stay for as long as possible.
