Fraterday

About 3 or so weeks ago one of my roomies told me about this thing called "fraterday." Basically the way it works is:

-party and drink Friday night as usual.
-if any non-roommates sleep over Friday night, they CANNOT leave the house and have to participate in Fraterday. no exceptions.
-allow oneself to get up whenever on Saturday morning.
-eating breakfast is optional, BUT, a beer MUST be had along with any food consumed.
-after breakfast, have another beer or a shot if one is feeling so bold.
-next play either snappa or beer pong.
-LAST STEP: at some point take a nap in order to recharge for Saturday night.
-Thus, Saturday has now become Fraterday

A few problems we noticed after two weekends of Fraterday:

-the whole, and I mean whole, Saturday is wasted
-50% of Fraterday participants don't make it to Saturday night
-It costs a lot
-Some participants find they are "in a haze" for the next day or two

Enough talk. We've been doing Fraterday for the past 3 weekends now and it has taken its toll on the best of us. This past weekend I decided to pull out the camera after noticing how Nick and Grant were handling their Fraterdays.


Grant: roughly 4 hours of sleep

Nick: 1 hour of sleep

The weekend is in a few days, and I'm definitely looking forward to Fraterday round 4. This time I'm bringing out the camera for sure.
