As expected, Gabe did not wake up to go to Bob Evans at 9:15. Therefore, Zuck, Josh, and I went alone (where “alone” means “without Gabe”). It was strange having an empty seat. If you would like to support Operation Gabe Please Come to Bob Evans Next Time, Because We Really Like You And You're a Lot of Fun to Have Along, please politely suggest to Gabe that he try and join us next time. Mention how distraught I sounded in this journal entry. Thanks!

Thanksgiving dinner served at the house. Bigly amounts of food. Guests. Semi-formal attire. My solution is to eat a bit, then go back to my room and avoid the semi-formalities.

The fraternity's alumni have decided to have an alumnus join us at chapter meetings once per month, starting today with Zuck. I think this is a great idea. Alumni have a lot to offer because they're older, wiser, and occasionally richer.

Today's chapter meeting was the first I've attended as a brother. I was nominated for several house positions. I have to think about which ones I'll want to run for.
