Phi Kappa Psi Burns

Who would ever think our Greek Fire Academy training would be put to use so quickly?  The abandoned house that used to be Phi Kappa Psi caught on fire a few nights ago.  One room was pretty torched but the rest of the house remained the same: blown up.  Last year in November the whole place blew up when a boiler exploded.  In the next month or so it’s supposed to be torn down and rebuilt as the new home of Phi Kappa Psi.  Until then I would not be surprised if it caught on fire again.

The fire fighters had to use a chainsaw to break through one of the side doors of the house.

New Apartment

Along with the duties and responsabilites of being the house father of Phi Delta Theta I also get a sweet apartment. Here are a few photos of it just as I was starting to move in. After I am finished unpacking (an ongoing process), I will take photos of the place in all its awesome glory.

Greek Fire Academy

Just before the school year started Paul, Shawn, and I attended the annual OSU Greek Fire Academy. We got to learn how to use fire extinguishers, played with fire hoses, crawled through a simulated burning building, and watched a dorm room get torched. Here are some photos of the event.

Paul overcome with emotion after learning about fire safety.  Or maybe he was coughing from the smoke.
