3rd Annual Murder Mystery Party
Wow oh wow, it's that time of the year - the 3rd Annual Murder Mystery Party in the Yellow Jacket Fencing Club! This year's theme coincides with Georgia Tech's homecoming theme Greek - Romans in "Terror in a Toga"!
Fencers acted as Romans enjoying the festivities as the gladiator games are about to commence - when suddenly grand champion gladiator Titus was found dead! These characters had to figure out who killed whom while interacting to other characters and completing their objectives. At the same time, many scandalous secrets were discovered...
In the end, the fencers had a great time solving the mystery. Big thanks to social committee for making all this happen! Will you be in next year's murder mystery party?

Fencing Weekends!
Whew, these two weeks have been certainly fun and stressful! On September 23rd, our newbie fencers arrived in UGA for the Georgia Meet 'n Greet to fence in a team-style tournament. It's not so much the winning that counts, but the learning experience each fencer got.
On the weekend of September 28-29, six squads traveled all the way to the University of Florida for the annual Fall South Atlantic Conference, or Fall SAC for short. It pretty much had the feel of the Georgia Meet 'n Greet except for more fencers from more schools, more opportunities to eat together, and closer bonding by being stuck together in cars/vans together for a 5-hour drive.
In short, everyone had a blast fencing and hanging out with teammates!
Next line of tournaments for this semester will be Halloween Open in GSU and Tiger Open in Clemson - both of which are USFA individual tournaments!
