We would like to thank the alumni for sponsoring the event and continuing to make our much-needed getaway possible!

Brothers Cody Bowman '16 X2198, Dan Lydon '16 X2206, Johnny O'Shea '16 X2209, and Mike Koelzer '16 X2203 all agree that the canoe trip is one of the chapter's greatest bonding moments. "Everyone shares stories and reflects on the past," Mike said. "There is nothing to worry about because you are away from school and your phone does not receive connection. All you can do is prioritize each other—and stay afloat, of course!" Brother Mike Hogan '16 X2184 feeling one with nature on the brotherhood canoe trip. "The sun was scorching at that time, and the breeze just felt so good I had to dwell in it much as I could. I should have just jumped in the water."
