The AccentRollin’ With Our Homies: Lumberjack StyleGamma Kappa’s Roadtrip to Boise[By Karen “YO.(i)S.(t)HI.” Dicker]6:00p Thursday. Three cars, five Brothers, four Sisters, one mascot, and four bird-body guards leave the gasstation and embark upon what would become an all-night road trip. I suppose that we all must have known onsome level what we were getting ourselves into, but I doubt any of us realized how long fourteen hours in a caris until you’re on hour thirteen and you’re still not there. Thankfully though, there is a reason that our chaptersalways say that half of District Convention is the trip getting there.8a (Boise time) Friday. After 32 dead cats, 2 dead wolves, a dead deer, millions of bathroom and gas stops,and thirteen hours: Arrival! We rolled down the windows to the beautiful, if slightly chilly, Boise morning andput We Are the Champions at maximum volume over the car speakers. We certainly felt like champions. Onedoesn’t know the luxury of an always-available clean toilet until one has explored the wondrous restrooms thatlie off the Arizona/Utah/Idaho Interstate. It was certainlyworth it though. We didn’t go two minutes of being in thehotel without being swept off of our feet (in my case literally)with love from Brothers and Sisters from all over the District.4p (Boise time) Sunday. No more than 14 hours of sleeplater, it was time to hit the road again. This time, though, wewere charged with conversations that consisted of more thatthe daily happenings of our chapter and our lives. The entireway home the nine of us spent our time gushing about howproud we were of FIFA (that’s Scotty, the new WDMAL), ourexperience at convention, and the ways that we could bringwhat we had learned back to our chapters.6p (Boise time) Sunday. We stop to pee (not unusual) and runinto the remaining contingent of Zeta Xi, including the new WD President Katie Kozma herself, returning toSan Diego. Well, of course they joined our caravan and added to our fun. We wrote signs to our other cars a laIota Pi at DLC including “You’re cute” “Ve’y Nice, How Much?” and “Lance Never Really Existed,” stoppedat the HUGE Church of Latter Day Saints Temple in Salt Lake City, and (this was all me) tried to convinceKatie to eat a Baconator. That last one failed.8a (Arizona time). Great success! We arrive in Flagstaff alive, complete with our mascot and all of our decoys.Amazingly enough we even had time to shower and grab a bite to eat before our 9:10a classes.I suppose that I understand why every friend I have who is not a member of our District doesn’t eventry to understand why one would EVER desire to road trip from Flagstaff to Boise and back again. That’s whyI LOVE the Western District. We understand how wonderful it is to spend 14-18 hours in a car with someoneyou thought you knew. It’s situations like those that make you realize how little you really did know aboutthem, and about yourself.With Love,Karen “YO.(i)S.(t)HI.” DickerAlumni Secretary, Co-WebmasterKappa Kappa PsiGamma KappaNorthern Arizona UniversitySpring 2008 EditionPage 39
