Why do all good things come to an end?
In a few weeks we are officially seniors. As 21-year-olds, we must trade the sticky floors of fratland for days on Cafe 210’s porch. As a class, we saw Penn State in a way that our younger generations never will.
We know what it’s like to have a registered Tuesday social and that Pi Kappa Phi is in fact a fraternity. There are few songs that will always take us back to the days we ran the streets all the way from Foster Ave. to Prospect.
Freshman Year
These songs flooded the corridors of East Halls around 8 p.m. every night. Nothing will ever parallel the sense of belonging that could be felt Saturday nights at the pink house. These were some of the best days: packed like sardines, sweating beads of happiness and belting Ke$ha at the top of our lungs.

Sophomore Year
Just when you thought nothing could top freshman year, sophomore year comes along. The boys moving into the houses made late night better than ever. The best of nights were spent dancing to oldies with the ultimate crew—those who can survive past 2 a.m. We were old enough to run the show yet still young enough to collectively dance to a slightly more sophisticated cha cha slide.

Junior Year
Things got a little weird junior year. We lost Mr. IFC but gained many rules. School work increased for virtually every major and on those rare occasions going out was in the cards, everything was different. When did everyone become 5-years-old? A bottle of wine and close friends became ~the move.~
