Actually such a casual meeting started a "hobby" for me.

I worked for IBM right after I graduated and was doing
a good deal of traveling.

On a trip to IBM in Charlotte, NC, I went to Subway for lunch.
The young guy in front of me in line was wearing an AM pin.
I introduced myself, we chatted, and he invited me to a
party they were having that night.

There were brothers from many different chapters there,
so the actives were expecting to entertain "visiting LX's".
It turned out to be a great night.

After that, I started a "hobby" of trying to visit nearby
chapters whenever IBM sent me somewhere....hence
my long list on the "what chapters have you been to"
forum.

Unfortunately I don't travel much any more, and haven't
visited any "new" chapters in about 5-6 years.

But I'm glad I bumped into that AM so long ago!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now for part 2 of the question:

I am now a full-time graduate student at U of KY, the
home of Epsilon-Phi Zeta. I started back in August.
I'm here 5 days a week, and though I spend most of my
time in the Engineering complex, I do "get out" on central
campus a bit. I have lunch in the student center
cafeteria 1-2 times a week usually. I often have to
walk "clear across campus" on occassion.

In all this time, I've NEVER seen LXA letters. Maybe the
guys here just don't wear them. (Actually I rarely see
any fraternity members with letter jerseys...only an
occassional hat or T-shirt). Or perhaps the chance
of meeting one of 40-50 students out of a population
of over 20,000 is just unlikely.

Go figure.

Kev, that is the big difference between the good old days and today!:o

Wear Letters, it is the best form of Free Advertising for us!:cool:

Hell, why wear GAP, Old Navy, Bud or Nike stuff. Ours is better!!!!!

Had LXA Hat on Sun. at Grocery Store and a Un. Ks. student recognized it!:cool:
