Hey KDdanni,
Yes I am still an undergrad brother at Pitt and I actually know a bunch of your sisters a couple of the graduating seniors too. I went to your hayride and had a lot of fun.
Oh and from what I hear Kappa Alpha Theta isn’t coming back because they can’t get back into their house since they technically went inactive; but that’s just what I heard and I hope I’m wrong I would love to see the Pitt Greeks grow. I hear there is talk of a multicultural sorority as well as an engineering social sorority, any news on that?
Any other Pitt Greeks out there that still goes to Pitt?

SigEp42- I've probably seen you around then :O)
I'm not sure what will happen with Kappa Alpha Theta. They own that house, and have choosen to hang on to it even though the sorority left. So who knows? I'd love to see them come back too, but unfortunately i don't think there's enough room in the sorority system for another house, we'll probably lose one or two eventually.


I haven't heard about the Multicultural sorority. But multicultural at Pitt doesn't really seem to mean multicultural. I don't know if they'd be part of Panhel or not.
As for the engineering social sorority, it does exist, and they have tried to become affiliated with Panhel, but we won't (and can't!) let them in because they only allow in engineering students, which is considered discriminating. I think they might be trying again, but they're going to get the same results.

I'm so happy to see how many pitt greeks there are on here!

Dani,
I saw your post about the different GLOs at Pitt and noticed that FIJI wasn't listed among the fraternities. Do you know when and why they left Pitt and what happened to their house? They were on Wallingford Street in North Oakland.

i think Fiji's left the semester i pledged (Fall 99)
I"m not sure why, i think low numbers, but that's only what i remember being told. As pledges, we were kept pretty sheltered :O)

I know what happened to the FIJI's although some of it I can't tell. My big sisters real brother was one of the last FIJI presidents. From what I understood they were on probation for something. Their neighbors hated them and wanted to get them kicked out of the house. The day beforethey were to go off probation they were rolling a ked into their house in preparation for the party when they got off of probation and their numbers got them in trouble. So then they lost their university charter but were still recognized by the fraternity, but then one of them did something else which lost them their nationals charter. So goes the rumor. When her brother went to grad school he still lived there with some alum and they had some parties there. I think they still own the house though.

As far as Kappa Alpha Theta goes, I was told, so I don't know if it is the truth or not, but I was told that they gave up their charter. They did bring in another chapter but i think it was too late, they should have done it my freshman year. There were only four girls left by my sophomore year. It's too bad too because one of their sisters was President of panhel my freshman year!! There's the scoop though.

As far as them recolonizing, panhel would have to vote to let in a new sorority and probably would't do it as not everyone is at total. There would have to be an interest group there for them to start.

Or at least that's what I was told!!!!!
Hmm Primantis, I would say the chicken sandwhich although I'd rather go to mad mex for happy hour!!!!
Wow that was a long message.

I just graduated in 2001, but I still live in pittsburgh.

Fire, the next time KappaStarboy/SigEpRaider and I are in Pittsburgh, we are SO going to Mad Mex (but I've only ever been to the one in the North Hills) for happy hour. There is nothing on this earth like their curry chicken burrito.

there is nothing like the oakland one!!!!!
I think I am going to go there for dinner now that I started to think about it!!!!!

It is NO FAIR you guys talking about my native cuisine when I am not there to enjoy it!!!!! ;)

lol....I can't believe you called it your native cuisine!!!! lol

I'm not a Pitt greek, but I am another person who lives in the 'burgh now. My org (Kappa Delta!) was at Bethany College in WV. Ever heard of the school? Probably not! LOL

So does Pitt have fall recruitment or spring? I'm never clear on these issues...

Also, what's cool to do here? I've been around a bit because I used to go to Duquesne....but I'm over 21 now. :)

Pitt has both. We used to refer to fall as formal and spring as informal even though it technically should be considered formal as well. More people usually go through in the fall though. Oh and I have heard of Bethany college!!!!!!

yea pitt
 

alright it is so good to know there are people from my home aways from home on here, i had no idea, now there are other people who actually know what im talking about when i miss fuel and fuddle nachos and mad mex burritos, mmmmm, i cant wait to go back,
i would just like to say hi to my absolute favorite sig ep in the whole wide world and my rush chair bud, sigep42, dont worry well survive this fall, barely but we will survive,
anyway i think it is kinda sad that for such a large school our greek system is so small but at the same time when i walk around campus i feel like i know so many people just from being greek, so im glad i get to talk about pitt with people who get it,

:)

Hey! I don't go to Pitt (main) but I do go to Pitt-Johnstown, so I thought I'd drop in and say hello. :) I am an Alpha Gamma Delta sister there. Well, actually right now I'm an alumae because I transfered but I've now reapplied, so hopefully I'll be an active member again in the fall.

Yay Pittsburgh! :-D

I'm from/go to college in northwest PA, but I spend a lot of time in the 'burgh. Primantis rules, but I only have one thing to say besides that:

The Origianal Hotdog :-P

It's a cult thing with me and my friends... lol

OMG, ThielGirlie, me too!!! I love that place. When I was in college, I'd buy a large O-Fries with cheese, pull out a book and park myself at one of the tables next to the window facing Bouquet Street and it never failed that within 20 minutes my table would be full because friends would be passing by, see me and my O-Fries and take it upon themselves to come in and "help me out" :)

Lots of my favorite Oakland hangouts are gone :( but if there is one place I hope is there forever, it's the O!
