Nothing is more exciting than a college football game, except maybe a once-in-a-lifetime college football game. This month, the University of Arkansas Razorbacks took the field against Arkansas State University’s Red Wolves, which led to a joint tailgate between Alpha Iota Chapter (Arkansas) and Beta Epsilon Chapter (Arkansas State).
Brother Andy Howard, Alumni President for Beta Epsilon Chapter, called Brother Chris Looney Alumni President of Alpha Iota Chapter asking him if the chapter was interested in getting together for this historic game.

He said Alpha Iota Chapter brought the tents, tables, chairs and drinks to the reserved tailgate spots, while Beta Epsilon Chapter brought and cooked a full spread of smoked meats and sides. Brother Josh Michaelis organized the meal and cooked, using his skills as a Food Service Administrator for a federal prison system.
“It was a chance for everybody from other chapters that didn't know one another to meet one another and get to know and share that brotherhood experience at a tailgate,” Brother Michaelis said.
Brothers, friends and family got the opportunity to meet AGR brothers from a different chapter, network and enjoy a fun day of friendly competition during the game.
Brother Chris Looney said the football game was overall a great event for the state of Arkansas as the game drew in a large crowd to Little Rock, Arkansas, consisting of people from all over the state. He said it was the first time in a long time that he had seen Little Rock so busy.
