Sigma Alpha Epsilon river fun

Over the weekend we had our annual ?AE Float-a-Date, and it was a big success. We all carpooled Saturday to Ginnie Springs. For those of you who do not know what Ginnie Springs is, it is a big park with a two mile section of river fed by natural springs. On the river you get rafts and just let the current carry you for a couple hours hanging out with your friends. The main attraction though is the underwater cavern system, which is the largest in North America.
In the caves we had our fair share of competition to see who could free dive the furthest into the caverns. There were several feeble attempts by Jake Volkmer, who barely made it to the bottom of the river; James Easton, who didn't even make it off his raft; and several others. The winner ended up being Chris Gonzales who made it an impressive 50 meters into the underwater cave.
Everybody who went had an awesome time and can't wait to go back. Luckily unlike last year, Sam Laurvick was not chased by any alligators but had a run in with some of the other wildlife. Thanks to everyone who made it such a great event.
Don't forget! Every home volleyball game come early to the ICI parking lot for a ?AE tailgate party. We've tailgated the last few games and they have all been a groovy time. So come out and
show your support for the Volleyball girls, and
good barbeque.
