Wow, it's so weird to think 30 years ago it was the 80's. I automatically think 70's. My have the times changed!

I've always wanted to know, how was it like being in a sorority in the 80's?

It was pretty much the same as now.... except, of course, chopping wood for heat and having to constantly badger the pledges to take care of the horses so they were ready to pull the buggies to morning classes. :rolleyes:

And don't forget the corsets. OH, those dang corsets. We sure kept those pledges busy running up and down the hall getting us tied up in our corsets every morning...

I turned 17 in mid-August, and received my bid in late September.

I advised at a school that had an early admission program (final year of high school credit concurrent with first year of college as an on-campus freshman) so we often saw 17 year olds. Those same 17 year olds often graduated college at age 20.

I received a bid in late August having turned 17 in late June.

When I joined we had a sister that was 17.

Was it HoneyChile that was 16 when she went through recruitment or someone else?

I think you're right. I was going to post about that (though not with her user name).

I was 17 when I pledged. No biggie. I just had to have a parent's signature on a few things.

I was 16 when I went through recruitment. I remember talking about it at a few chapters, because I mistakenly thought it would be impressive.

Depending on your state laws, this has a possibility of making things dicey at mixers. Just sayin' is all.

If you and I have the same definition of 'dicey', most states' age of consent laws are 16. But nobody wants to cross that line.

I was 17...didn't turn 18 till the end of January after I pledged in September. but that was back in the day where parents signed everything and no undergrad females were allowed to drink on campus (yeah, sure!)
