American University Top Questions

I tell my friends that our men's basketball team has won the Patriot League tournament for the past two years and has gone to the NCAA tournament for the past 2 years as well. Last year I was able to join the team in Philadelphia for the tournament as part of the school's pep band. Paid, excused classes and hotel room for 2 nights stay there all on the university. Through this experience I gained a lot of school spirit and a better connection and friendships with the other members of the pep band.
