You've heard of the beer crawl, a time when 20-somethings trek from bar to bar, usually in large cities, then crawl home because they are so drunk.

Well, 17 members of Theta Chi fraternity held a pizza crawl on Wednesday evening.

Here, they chow down on pies at the Depot Park. Before the night is through, the fraternity brothers will have tasted pizza from Viva Maria's, East of Chicago, 3 Brothers, and Padrone's.
