The time has finally come. The spring semester is coming to a close, you’re an upperclassman now, and you’ve recently signed a lease for an apartment just off campus next semester. Your all-too-brief stay in that wonderful, pillared, smelly, hazardous mansion of dreams that you call a fraternity house has come to an end.

Take one final deep breath of the sweet smell of the frat castle, and close the book on a triumphant chapter of your life.
