Hang out ALONE with a brother you don’t know well!!! Have a heart to heart, which having fun at the same time. Share your stories with each other. Learn something from one another. To get credit: Send me an email with a picture of the two of you, and tell me: Where did you go? What did you do? Did you learn something new about each other? Did you learn something from each other? Would you do it again? For example: Last summer, I hung out alone with my pledge brother, Ryan Mina for the first time. We went to Poke One and a Half, and then to the mall. 1. Originally, we were supposed to go to Lake Murray, but we decided to save that for another time! 2. We literally just ate our poke bowls and talked about the most random things. We talked about school, and relationships, and our families. I think it went from us talking about superficial things to a heart to heart without even realizing it. 3. I did. I learned that he had sisters. I learned about his values and his viewpoint on the importance of friendship. 4. I learned that Mina will always be there for me. He inspired me to be an even better friend to others; not only to the ones I'm already close to. Mina taught me of how the love of a friend is just as important, sometimes even more, as the love of a family or of a significant other. 5. Yes! We still need to go to Lake Murray. I would be honored to spend another time with Mina, and catch up on life since we last hung out last summer. My schedule may be busy, but it's all about making time for those who are important to you. Last summer, I also hung out for the first time with my pledge brothers Stephanie Bucao, Alexis Oh and Geremy Ronquillo. They have all influenced me in some shape or form. Their friendship means a lot to me, and last year, I didn't even think I'd become good friends with any of them (I thought they were too cool for me).
