We had about 16 brothers there, and no sorors or phyettes, and no friends. Only one family member came with her children. We held the cookout out under a tree.

The main events that were slated to take place were as follows: On Friday, All-nighter Houseparty. On Saturday, we had the Annual Cookout. We added, a Step Contest during the Cookout and nobody was prepared for the contest. So we gave everybody a about thirty minutes to practice. We were suppose to go out to party that night but everybody stayed in and that gave them time to recover from Cookout . On Sunday, we went to Church at Atlanta Metropolitan Church, (suggested by a Morgan State University GSS soror), Shopping at Underground Atlanta, and the Sunset Pool Party that occurred later that evening! There were about 35 sorors and 125 brothers in attendance
