I remember the trek across campus as if it were yesterday. The elevator at The Stockyard (Stockard Hall) would empty all the freshmen boys out onto what is likely the lowest point on campus. Out to the sidewalk and you were right across from the Pi-Phi and Chi-O sorority houses, then up the hill on Rebel Drive and a left just past the AOPi house. That would put you on Student Union Drive, where you’d get a brief reprieve of flat earth until you got to the hill alongside the Student Union.
Once you made it to the top and past the Union, it was downhill across The Grove on a stretch of sidewalk that would eventually become The Walk of Champions.
