So heres the deal, I am a freshman at the University of Missouri, GO TIGERS ! I was recently elected social chairman of my fraternity Alpha Gamma Rho, needless to say I had one hell of a time during my first semester . One of the big responsibilities of social chair is planning a formal. Being a freshman and being elected as social chair is a fairly big responsibility and I want to do everything I can to make sure I can live up to my brothers expectations.
Over break I have been working on formal quite a bit and I have been doing a lot of looking around in Chicago. So far I have found a hotel that we would be able to stay in, the Blackstone for $100 a night. For downtown Chicago less than a mile away from Navy Pier I figured that was a great price seeing that it could be split 4 ways when most people get 2 queen beds in a room. Now all I need is a room to rent for our dance. The Blackstone had a ballroom with a $25,000 minimum! At most I would like to spend around $3,000 for the rental of a room with a budget of around $2,000 for the bar.
Ive been doing some looking at other hotels and such but no luck so far. If anyone has any recommendations or ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Are there any boats that go out on the lake maybe? Any and everything would be great! There will be around 125 people at the formal. Thanks for the time, hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and I wish everyone a prosperous and healthy new year!
