Grand Prix is a huge event at Purdue that takes place two weeks before finals week. In a nut shell, each sorority is paired up with a fraternity to hang out with all week and they shower you with presents and things like blow-up bounce houses galore. Its a marvelous week. During the couple of months prior to Grand Prix, the fraternities and sororities do what we call, butter-ups. Basically you kiss your desired house's butt so that they pick you to be their pair. We've gotten everything from 50 Den-Pops, milkshakes, and icies, delivered to our house, to a mountainous platter of chocolate-covered strawberries, to being personally serenaded for our butter-ups this year. Its always a feisty time of the year but also a very delicious one. The fraternities really showed us the love with all of the goodies they bought us. These blow up heart balloons got delivered to us on V-Day. They're a little extreme, but hey.
