Parent Auction 2012

Well last night was the annual Pi Kappa Alpha parent auction and whenever you mix, pikes, parents, and booze you get one crazy night. Every year my fraternity hosts a parent auction to raise money for our house, in which parents bring in baskets to auction off. The baskets range from 30 cases of Busch Light to Bear-Packer tickets.

Well this year the auction took place at the new U-Hotel here in Charleston, pretty nice looking hotel, and about 60 people participated in all. The night began as usual drinking, eating, and meeting family and friends. When the auction began, some of the most expensive baskets included two Bear-Packer tickets for $600, an autographed Patrick Sharp jersey for $500, two Chicago Bull tickets for $450, and varioud handles of liquor for $200.

After the auction concluded, the real fun began. Two drunk buses came and picked everyone up from the hotel and took us to Marty's. The booze was flowing, parents getting drunk, pikes getting drunk, and random people dancing. After about one hour or so, the crew trecked down to Stu's to rage.

At Stu's total drinks for each parent and pike were starting to reach double digits and everyone was having a great time. Shots after shots being consumed, time flew by and it was time to dip out. But a lot of parents wanted to stay longer and that they did. Small groups of parents and pikes gathered and talked till at least 1:30 A.M. well past bar closing.

Finally, they got all of us out of there and somehow everyone found a ride back to hotel and it was an epic parent auction.

It was a little combo of this, but drunk pikes and parents
