Mallard Madness

Every year my sorority has a bunch of official social functions that are always a ton of fun. For those of you that don't know, official functions are paid for using sorority funds, which means that paperwork is sent in to Nationals, there's no underage drinking (unless you want to be called to Standards and be forced to miss the next function), etc. etc.

The first function for my sorority, and our chapter's favorite, is Mallard Ball, which we had on September 18. The theme, obviously, is duck hunting so everyone gets dressed up in hunting camo and neon orange and parties it up. Usually it is at a venue close to campus but this year our amazing social (who just happens to be one of my best friends) changed it up and had it outside on a farm in Blythewood about 25 minutes from campus. There was a fire with tons of stuff to make s'mores, hayrides, and an AWESOME up-and-coming band, McKenzie's Mill, from Nashville.

The general consensus from everyone's dates that came was that it was the best sorority function any of them had ever been to. I talked to one Sigma Chi who said, "I went to [another sorority's] function the night before and it was a mess. Girls were puking on the dance floor. Then I went to Mallard Ball and girls were shagging on the dance floor. I was the best function ever!"

I brought my flip along to record some of the action and finally had time to put some of it together. The first half (leading up to the buses) is footage from the pre-party that some people who couldn't go hosted. They hired a band, served all orange food to keep with the theme (cheetos, nacho cheese doritos, cheeze-its, etc.), and even set up tailgate games. The second half of the video is from the actual function. Enjoy!
