Grand Alternative Overview

25 Apr

Like many of y’all, I had a fantastic time last week enjoying the weather, hanging out with my friends and attending Grand Prix and Grand Alternative events.

I was able to attend the Grand Grill-out sponsored by the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council and Old Masters and held at the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority’s parking lot.

Excuse the pun, but it was a grand ol’ time! There was an abundance of great, FREE food, great live music and games to win Southern Tide merchandise.

Attendee Alex Guerra and Southern Tide Ambassador Brian Lee pose for a picture after Guerra won a bottle sock.

Grand Alternative was established in 1998 by a campus minister who wanted the student body to focus on friendship and bonding rather than drinking themselves sick during Grand Prix.Since then, Grand Alternative has evolved into a big event sponsored by various student organizations and the Office of the Dean of Students.

I can truly vouch that Grand Prix week has a lot of serious competition with Grand Alternative.

The only thing Grand Alternative is lacking from Grand Prix is alcohol. Grand Alternative is completely substance-free and all its events are free as well!

Here’s what you missed out if you didn’t attend the Grand Grill-out!
