Georgia, Georgia Tech, USC, UNC, Duke, Virginia, DC, Georgetown

Got to Georgia kinda late. Got a tour and ate dinner with one of the brothers. Snapped this beauty in front of the Georgia football stadium.
Got to see Mike McGrath's best friend from Chicago which was cool. Got up very early and made the drive to Virginia. Along the way we stopped at a bunch of schools.

Drove by Georgia Tech just to see the house. Pretty cool. Mark's favorite so far. They have a pool and basketball court in the back yard.






Then we saw Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters. Very private so all we saw was some fences and this sign:


We then went to South Carolina. I was supposed to meet up with my friend from high school but we decided to not stay the night and try and make up time by going straight to Virginia. Checked out campus for a little bit. Cool stadium. 


We then went to North Carolina. My favorite school growing up because of their basketball history. As usual we worked our magic and got a little private tour of the stadium. They told us this guy Miguel Jórden played here or something? Not too sure who they were talking about. 











We also went to Duke, but as a UNC fan I refuse to post any pictures of the campus or Cameron Indoor. JK Cameron was locked up tight and couldn't get in. Didn't look like a stadium at all though. 

The car is getting very boring. We usually only stop for gas/food/shits but we are now stopping for football breaks. You can see my stud athlete abilities in the picture below:



Finally made it to Virginia. Theta Chi house got renovated last year so it is very new. Cool guys. Showered for the first time in a while which was nice. My feet needed it. 




Tuesday
Drove to DC did the touristy things. Washington Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, etc. Then checked out the Arlington National Cemetery and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Again, cool history there. 








We then went to Howard University where Taylor's friends go to school. We stuck out like a sore thumb. But it was cool to get #cultured. John and Mark bought shirts. John buys one shirt from all these sick schools, and it's from Howard. Shout out to Bryant and Cymone. 

Staying the night at my friend from high school's house at Georgetown. Basketball co-captains. Glory days. 

Really ready to get back to campus now....


Notes:
- The trolling in the car is at a whole new level. We don't know who is trolling and who is serious. It's gotten to the point where the guy giving directions will troll and say take a left. The driver takes a left, and then the directions guy goes "seriously? i was trolling, should have taken a right". Pretty annoying.
- John has said like 5 words since Georgia. But he did say his first 2 jokes of the trip today. And there were vids.
- Harry finally washed his feet, so hopefully the smell gets a little better
- Mark was on his hardcore shirt game today. Bought two shirts. We got the same one from UNC. I saw it first but he's claiming he did. Shenanigans.
- A new Theta Chi committee has been formed. Brothers will be informed of it at the first chapter.
- Hoop Dreams is a thing.

Shoutouts:
- Matt Flanagan: Sorry we couldn't meet up. Lets plan a game day soon
- Biddies: thanks again for the call. (I swear this kid calls us every day just to get in the blog)
- Leo Sheehan: thanks for tagging my shit at the house. (if you dont tag stuff, people are savages and take it all).
- Drake: you've been our soundtrack for most of the trip. Unless John's on the 1s and 2s.
