Before my junior year I went up a week early
I was working at Dietrick and, if memory serves, the management wanted us there early for "training" (though I can't recall what that entailed). Met some co-workers while there, started hanging out with some of them, and on the day all the rest of the students showed up one of them invited me to a fraternity party. She also brought along her new freshman roommate from West AJ - whom I've now been married to for 33+ years.
