I've been to frat parties before, but this one took the cake and smashed it. I was afraid that the Theta party might suck like some others that I've been before. I was wrong...SO WRONG.
I already felt VIP-ish since I knew Jonathan and Selle because the Thetas let me in free. We were a little early, but Jon and Selle assured me that things would pick up. They had some Jungle Juice as the feature drink before the kegs arrived. Hey, I drove so I had to be good. I drank fairly light. I wasn't even buzzed for that long. Anyway, Chriselle had to introduce me to all of her friends and even all of the hoochies and the hard looking guys were unbelievably nice. Yes...they were sober. Well, at the time anyway. People were saying "HEY! WHAT'S UP?! HAVING A GOOD TIME? DIDJA GET A DRINK ALREADY?!" I sat down at a random seat and people would politely engage me in meaningful conversation. The vibe was clearly congenial and positive. Jon & Selle introduced me to some of the bros, lil sis's and the pledges. I kept complimenting him how great the party was. I was having a great time. I made a lot of friends tonight.
The atmosphere was comprimised when some dumbass tried to start shit with someone. Naturally, this guy was drunk and being really stupid. I won't get into the details of the scuffle, but I will tell you there was a lot of broken property and cussing. The music faded and people were just talking about what had happened. After about an hour of chillin outside, one of the party people came from the front and calmly said..."COPS!" Three officers stormed into the backyard waving their flashlights and instructed us to leave. Just as the crowd went to the front, there was a fleet of black and whites parked in the front of the house. The cops then demanded us men get on their knees with our hands behind our heads. I freaked out but the guys next to me assured me that if I have nothing to hide, then I have nothing to worry about. The ladies were then checked one by one. One of the officers then told us that there was multiple reports that there were guns at the party and that's why they were being such hardasses. We were all told to get inside the hosue and stay inside while they checked the "suspicious looking" ones. We couldn't really be so loud so we talked among ourselves. I felt really weird about being detained inside the house. I was afraid to find out what was going to happen next. "Maybe they're going to gas us..." (hahaha inside joke) The crowd stayed inside the house trying to make sense out of everything and everyone was comforting each other. I sat down on the floor with some people and conversed with them. We all bonded and told each other that we were going to see each other again.
The cops finally left and we were free to leave the house. Some of us ate out after...but that's a whole other story.
The property was PACKED with people. I've never felt so sociable at frat party before. I felt so welcomed. Everyone was tremendously friendly and it was a pleasure to meet them all. I hope I see them again soon. Jonathan said that the parties are like the way they live...like family. He was right on the money. Great music...great vibe...great people...I swear theta delta beta can sure throw a party. I have friends in UCLA now! GO BRUINS!
