Afternoon & Evening – Brothers Only Ritual of Initiation Part 1

For anyone interested in observing the newest members being initiated, we will have 3 locations for you to do so.  It’s important to note that no one expects you to stay for the entire Ritual of Initiation.  You may come and go as you please and spend as much or little time as you would like to witness this.  Please contact us to find out the times and  locations of the Ritual of Initiation.  NOTE: If you plan on attending the Ritual of Initiation, you will be challenged with a handshake when you arrive at the Ritual site.  You will only be challenged once, so if you leave, you can come back without challenge.

Afternoon & Evening – Alumni Welcome Reception – Bacon, Bourbon & Beer- 368 Suncrest Towne Center Drive, Morgantown, WV 26505  http://www.baconbourbonandbeer.com/menu.php

Once you have checked in for the weekend at the Holiday Inn, join other Alumni and guests for a casual and optional gathering.  We have selected this establishment due to it’s proximity to the hotel and because it’s owned by our own Brother Shawn Janovich, AP382.  There is an excellent menu and beverage list for you to choose.

Brothers Only Post Ritual Gathering – Holiday Inn – 10:00 PM 

Join us to rekindle the tradition of gathering socially to welcome our newest members after the Ritual of Initiation. This event will allow everyone to meet and get to know the newest initiates in a fun and social setting.  A cash bar and light appetizers will be available for you.
