Solid day off here in Charlotte! The day started with a sponsored meal at Bojangles, a chicken and biscuit Mecca, followed by a morning on Lake Wylie, where I took a nap on the dock and swam around enjoying the warm water and overcast weather. As our time at the lake ended, a torrential downpour began to consume Charlotte. Unfortunately, this prevented us from being able to get to our friendship visit early this afternoon. There was hardly any visibility. Once the downpour slowed, we took a tour of the headquarters of Pi Kappa Phi and Push America. It was very interesting to see the offices of the people who run our fraternity and it's great philanthropy. They had a museum that included fraternity memorabilia from our history. They even had a room that had a school mug for every active Pi Kapp chapter in it. Inside the mugs, notes were left from past visitors of that mug's chapter who had visited headquarters. I read all of the notes in the TCU mug, and left a piece of my own. After our tour, we had a sponsored BBQ dinner at an alumnus' house, where there were many workers for Push America and the National Fraternity.
High Point, NC tomorrow! Here's a couple pics of the mugs and our fraternity's Articles of Incorporation from 1905.
