In The Stands At THON with Katie Petrie

Being in the stands at THON this past February with APO was one of the best experiences I have had thus far in this fraternity. I have attended many fellowship events since pledging APO and they have all been very important to me because they have brought me closer to my brothers. THON weekend felt similar to these events in so many ways for me. It was such a great experience being squished in between my brothers while singing, laughing, dancing, and supporting our dancers. Some of us had been there for hours, while others had just arrived but everyone was in the same happy and loving spirit none the less. It was empowering to see brothers helping brothers through out the weekend. If an event like this doesn’t bring us closer together, I don’t know what possibly could. I am so thankful I was able to take part in THON alongside some of my favorite people at Penn State!
