May Ordeal

The May ordeal was great, many chapter members came to staff in the kitchen, ceremonies, and service corp. We gained several new ordeal members, and a couple of our dedicated ordeal members sealed thier brotherhood as well. Everyone had a great time and the many people that attended will have had a weekend to remember. The Arrow Bistro, once again, cooked some fabulous meals for the staff, and Judy Johnson created a simply delightful honey bun cake.

Yes, there is a recipe for that cake, check the last post!!!

Anyway, it was a great weekend all around thank you everyone who helped ordeal weekend.
