When you want to play leap frog, “who you gonna call?” Well, I would not call Ghostbusters, but I would call my Brothers! I chose to play leap frog with my “Brothers,” my fellow members of the honors fraternity—Phi Sigma Pi. With this assignment, we were aiming to create community by bringing a group of people together. In Phi Sigma Pi, we are always striving to create community in our Brotherhood. So, I decided to combine the two. At the beginning of our Chapter, we play icebreakers. I asked the Vice President, and she thought it was a great idea to have leap frog for one of our ice breakers.

So, on October 20, the Brothers gathered in the hallway of Schroeder, where I told them about my assignment and asked for their help. Always willing to help a Brother in need, they graciously consented to play leap frog while being videotaped. It took a while to get ourselves together and to figure out exactly how we wanted to play, but finally we decided to make one long line and to just leap until we leaped over everyone. It was hilarious and so much fun! I leaped second and had a blast. Random acts of foolishness occurred, such as one of the Brothers kept trying to give wedgies to unsuspecting frogs while going on her leaping way. Others teased each other and made jokes. It was fun seeing the different ways people attempted to leap, some more successful than others. However, even if they were not too happy about the idea of leap frog, everyone ended up having fun. It brought us together. Even afterwards, the Brothers continued to tease each other about their leaping.

We are all very different people, yet we were all doing the same thing—leaping, just in our way. It will be interesting to watch everyone else’s version of leap frog. However, others may try to leap frog our way, but it would never be the exact same. The jokes, the laughter, the smiles, the randomness, none of it can be copied or replaced. It is forever in our memories as a good time with our fellow Brothers.

So, join me in watching the Phi Sigma Pi version of leap frog!
