Mar 2013

The Undertaker's Ball was an annual event.
We were 'quirky'.

I remember them well.
We hired a mule drawn wagon with a NOLA jazz band on it and a coffin with a freshman 'new boy' pledge in it as the 'corpse'.
The whole fraternity turned out in white shirts, black pants, and black ties as mourners behind the flat bed wagon.
We paraded down Sorority Row, picking up our dates (who joined the cortege) as we moved along.
Maybe you had to be there.
it was pretty funny.
At least we thought so.
