For everyone who joined our club on the Pirate cruise this year and want to re-live the fun, or for those who didn't make it and want to see what they missed, there were two Buckeyes on board who put together a great episode for their travel and adventure video series. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us! Go Bucks!

Thank you to all the Buckeyes who joined us for the Alumni Club Pirate Cruise last night! 🏴‍☠️ It was an unforgettable evening filled with pirate entertainment, fun games, great music (including Hang on Sloopy, Across the Field, and Carmen Ohio), along with plenty of dancing. To top it all off, the captain even spelled out O-H-I-O on the water! ❤️🌊

So glad we could share such a fantastic night together—Go Bucks!
