When sororities started up at Texas A & M in the seventies, we weren't recognized by the university. All the "Texas Biggies" came and colonized anyway--Pi Phi, Kappa, Chi O, Tri Delt, Theta, and Zeta. I don't think it was too long until the university gave in and recognized the groups but they'd just opened the university fully to women and what'd they expect? That the women would just join the Rodeo Club?

ETA: yes, I know that some women do that and I'm not downing that-- because I have 3 degrees in ag. However, the kind of women who flocked to TAMU when it opened to them were definitely the un-rodeo type.

please tell me there really is a Rodeo Club at Texas A&M.

i can't speak for this group, but sigma pi took away recognition from a colony at my school. here is the article...

OMG, there are probably 137 rodeo clubs at A&M.

AHAHAHAHAHA

that makes me SO happy.

although you should know this is what I think when I think rodeo:

when I lived outside Minneapolis there was a Hamel Rodeo each year. My girlfriends went and got shirts, and I have this GREAT pic saved on my comp (10 points to anyone who can tell me how to get it on here) of them holding up the front and the back -- the front says "Hamel Rodeo -- Where The Hell is Hamel?" and the back says "Put Something Wild Between Your Legs"
