Huntingdon College

Hello again! This time, I will just be talking about the school, chapter and some food I ate along the way. Sadly, I did not explore on Wednesday (actually had to do some work!). Huntingdon is a small division 3 private school located in Montgomery, Alabama. The campus was very small and they value their football team…almost sounds like Franklin, right??? It had all the same similarities as Franklin except of having a Dame Mall, where student walk right down the middle of campus, Huntingdon was built around a circle of sidewalks. So instead of it  being a giant square like Franklin, it was a giant circle where the buildings were located. Along with all this, their main image for promotion is the top of their oldest building…just like Franklin’s Old Main! The campus was founded in 1854 so it has a lot of character to it.

The chapter was super similar to what I was use to as an undergraduate. The chapter were 15 men strong before recruitment and they were super pumped to start the semester. They were full of crazy ideas and they knew how to make them work! A handful of great things they did was start something called “Break N in a Bag”. The chapter gets together and puts snacks, waters, and thank you cards into a gallon plastic bag and delivers them to emergency services within the area to show their appreciation. Another amazing activity is they brought in a well known speaker named, Sean Dietrich, and sold tickets that raised over $5,000 to put an underprivileged child through a local private school. As a chapter, the men performed over 1,100 community service hours from January-August! That is around 90 hours a man which is unbelievable. I enjoyed my time with the chapter, I was able to hang around and play Madden and Fortnite which is always fun to me. I know the men at Huntingdon College are going to have a great year!

Food

I was able to try out a few food places around the campus! The first one was Moe’s BBQ which of course I am always a fan of. I stuck to the classic pulled pork along with the fixin’s. The little restaurant across from campus was a classic. The environment was warming, almost like the Willard for all my Franklin folk. I would give Moe’s a 8/10. The second place was Jubilee that was a higher-end seafood restaurant in the area. The shrimp and coleslaw was phenomenal. Many older couples filled the room and were wearing dress clothes…I was in my polo (I was not informed about the dress code…). Overall I would give Jubilee’s a 8.5/10. The last place was Joe’s Again, a hole in the wall place in Montgomery. It was a lineup and carry out place with hardly any room to dine-in. The burger I got was the Joe Burger. This burger was giant and symbolized a Big Mac from McDonalds. It was extremely good and filling to me, I was ready for a nap. In my opinion, Joe’s would get a 7.5/10.

Thank you for checking in! I will have a special one Monday morning about my first trip to SunTrust Park and watch my Bravos play!
