Regions all over the order do Fall Kickoffs, but in South Florida, the Miami Region and Gold Coast Region’s kickoff is always like no other. In early September, we hosted a Wild West-themed extravaganza where strobe lights flashed over a sea of Alephs and BBGs as they packed Sway Nightclub to start the year in classic Miami style.

For many people, the kickoff was more than just a nightclub. It was a chance to reconnect with friends from camp, meet new members, and feel like part of something bigger than just their chapter or even region. Teens from all parts of South Florida created memories that will carry through the year. From cowboy hats to bandanas and even mosh pits and group photos, the energy hadn’t faded even after the last song, with momentum carrying on into the fall term.
