Traveling
to Honduras with twelve Phi Delts from around the United States and Canada to
serve the people of Honduras was definitely the experience of a lifetime.
I knew from the minute my plane landed in Miami and my brothers whom I’ve never
before met greeted me, that this was going to be a trip unlike any I had ever
experienced. Being a part of the same great organization that is Phi Delta
Theta helped us to form strong bonds of friendships within the short time we
spent together.
My
favorite part of the trip was being able to share in our nightly ritual and see
that although we are all from different parts of the country and different
walks of life, we are all able to live the ritual in our daily lives.
Each night, we would spend hours reflecting on our days and the different
observations we each made. We would share stories and our realizations of
our “first world problems” and we would take the time to evaluate our own
values.
I
will never forget the friendships that I made that week abroad, and the impact
that we had on the native people of Honduras. I challenge every Phi Delt
to experience some sort of service immersion trip sometime in his life.
