The dawn of the first day of August at Woodcrest University was met with an electrifying sense of anticipation, as it coincided with the inaugural day of Rush week. This eagerly awaited time of year sees the Greek Houses each taking a day to host a signature event, and this semester was no exception. The men of Delta Alpha Mu led the charge, kicking off Rush week with an unforgettable DAM Summer Pool Bash that late afternoon.
At 5 PM, the area in front of the stately Lecture Hall transformed into a beach paradise. A sandy floor sprawled beneath an expansive above-ground pool, inviting students to bask in its cool, refreshing waters. The ambiance was elevated by the presence of a lively bar serving colorful cocktails and refreshing beverages, and a charming kiddie pool that offered a playful respite. However, it was the foam cannons, spraying delightful blue-tinted foam, that truly enchanted the party-goers, adding an ethereal touch to the festivity.
As the sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the gathering, DJ Guinness Moretti, a proud DAM Alumnus, took to the turntables. His energizing beats filled the air, infusing the gathering with a pulsating rhythm that kept everyone on their feet. The music ranged from the latest hits to timeless classics, ensuring there was something for everyone to dance to. Laughter and cheers resonated across the grounds, a testament to the lively fun shared by all in attendance.
In a surprising twist that added a vibrant burst of color to the festivities, the blue foam unexpectedly transformed into a swirling pink, creating a mesmerizing swamp of blue and pink foam. This unexpected change delighted the crowd, who reveled in the whimsical ambiance it created.
In a moment that defied convention and added a dash of unexpected hilarity, one daring DAM pledge (who shall remain nameless to shield him from any potential university reprimands) took to streaking across the party. His bold antics elicited a mixture of gasps, laughter, and applause from the crowd, creating a spectacle that will be talked about for years to come. His carefree spirit and audacity embodied the uninhibited joy of the event.
The highlight of the evening came when the brothers of Delta Alpha Mu gathered in a tight-knit formation, a unified front swaying to the iconic beats of Ginuwine’s “Pony.” Their synchronized movements and spirited dancing ignited the crowd, whose roars of delight echoed across the campus. This display of camaraderie and unity was a poignant reminder of the brotherhood that lies at the heart of Greek life.
The sun began its descent, casting a warm, amber glow over the Lecture Hall and its sandy surrounds. The DAM Summer Pool Bash had set the bar high, heralding a week of tradition, unity, and unforgettable moments. The men of Delta Alpha Mu had not only welcomed the new month with open arms but had also ushered in Rush week with a celebration that will be fondly remembered by all who attended.
