I got the same as Gusteau! Gosh, I haven't had this much fun since solving the potions riddle in the first Harry Potter book.

That was fun thanks! (Same answers as Gusteau)

Haven't done it yet because, well, I'm really tired. But I can say that I have always loved these and was very excited to find there was a whole section of these on the GRE when I took it in 1990. Are they still on the GRE? I rocked that section.

UUUUGGGGHHHH ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I LOVE these, the GRE would have been so much more fun (rather than soul-suckingly awful) if I'd gotten to take that section. No idea when they took that out but I wish they hadn't!

If you really miss them, you can always take the LSAT. >_>

New Puzzle
 
Okay, so it's been awhile, but I have come up with another puzzle. When I posted the first one, someone PMed me and thought it would be fun to have one using real sororities, so here we go. And this also requires a tiny bit of NPC sorority knowledge outside what is listed in the clues, but for this crowd, I'm sure it won't be a problem.

And one more note: as of today, all of these chapters exist at these campuses. If someone stumbles across this thread a year from now, it's possible that might not be the case, but the puzzle will still work, you just have to approach it as if all chapters are still open.

4 high school BFFs graduated and attended different colleges, and each joined a different sorority. Additionally, each friend joined a chapter to which they are a legacy OR have a close female relative who's already a member (no, you don't need to research each org's legacy policy to do the puzzle :)) .

Use these clues to figure out who attended which school, joined which sorority, with which family member.

Friends: Anna, Beth, Cassie, Deena
Schools: Cornell, Maryland, Penn State, Syracuse
Sororities: Alpha Phi, Delta Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, Sigma Delta Tau
Relatives: Aunt, Grandmother, Mother, Sister


Two of the four joined a founding chapter

Both Cassie, and the Penn State student, joined sororities with 3 letter names.

Neither Beth, nor the friend who joined her aunt's sorority, go to school in the state of New York.

The Delta Gamma joined her older sister's sorority

Deena joined Kappa Alpha Theta, which is not her mother's sorority.

The Alpha Phi did not join her grandmother's sorority

Me, too! That was fun. My Zeta sister and I were just talking about how much we liked these puzzles on the GRE. I will send them to her!
