Texas v. OU Weekend
Every October sorostitutes are faced with a bevy of tasks, also known as preparations for the Red River Rivalry (Annual meeting of Texas and Oklahoma for football game) as well as the marathon of drinking that ensues (5-8 hour bus ride to Dallas)
All good Texas sorostitutes head to Dallas on a bus with their dates, stocked coolers and sorostitute accessories. Fratlords ask their dates in late September/early October to give plenty of time for them to prepare the cooler/order party favors. Every fraternity has an allotted amount of busses organized by pledge class. OU does not have the same tradition, they do not take busses, and most people go with friends…very GDI of them.
Some important guidelines:
Coolers must have wheels, must be painted with your letters and his, and if you have any sense of humor, put something funny. DONT forget to paint with paint pens or oil based paints and spray the finished product with a sealant. It is a proven fact that every sorostitute will spend an inordinate amount of time and money painting the cooler (or pay an enterprising sister), only to have it stepped on/destroyed under the bus. However, it is a gift, and also must be stocked with handles of liquor requested by your date.
Busses leave various times on Friday afternoon from various locations. Guys should pick their dates up, or come with pledges to pick their dates up. DO NOT walk down 24th Street with your cooler, even if it looks beautiful…You will get an MIP. Koozies, crazy straws, and to-go top cups are most important for the bus ride. It will definitely be long, because I-35 is perpetually under construction, but that provides more time to booze.
Upon Arrival in Dallas, shit-talking must commence. While checking into the hotel, getting dinner, going out to bars/tabs, passing out, one must be a true Texas fan. Wear burnt orange, be polite, but be obnoxiously proud at the same time.
Saturday morning will be early, but will be met with mimosas (orange). Bus ride to Fair Park is met with more-ning boozing. Wear your nicest burnt orange dress/skirt/columbia shirt, boots, face tat, and gameday button/bow. You need your pocket shots, and (if you have one) a ticket to the game. Go to the game (or fair), and booze hard, because they don’t really check for flasks (or card in the food court). If you don’t have a ticket pay the ticket takers $20. Enjoy the game, cheer the Longhorns to a victory and have fun!
After the game try to stay with your date or sisters, it will be a mess. Either stay and play at the fair or head back to the hotel and shower or nap, this will be the only chance to sleep until after the bar tab.
Booze hard at the bar tab by any means possible. This is the point of the whole weekend. Boozing and schmoozing with all of your fellow sorostitutes/fratdaddies.
Sunday morning sleep as long as possible, pack quickly and prepare for more bus boozing on the way home. The bus ride will probably be longer plus or minus a stop in Waco or West for food. Try your hardest to stay on the bus as long as possible, because it is the most fun frat-holiday you will experience until roundup.
