OOOH on a totally random note......I heard Beta got booted recently? Who is in their house now?

First of all, I understand that Beta was a top house which was NOT the case when I was there so good for them for getting to the top. However, yes they lost their house and I think Lamba Chi Alpha (wasn't there when I was there) is in their house now.

I read the Diamondback online everyday and I can keep up with stuff that way.

No, actually Lambda Chi has been at #7 at least since I've been at UMD (Fall 03). Beta lived in #6. They lost their charter over the summer, so right now the house is empty but Delta Chi is going to be moving in (I think this semester but I am not positive).

Just in case you wanted to know how much the row has changed...

1. Kappa Alpha Order
2. Pi Kappa Alpha
3. Delta Tau Delta
4. Alpha Epsilon Pi (SAE used to be here but then they were kicked off)
5. Phi Kappa Tau
6. Empty, soon to be Delta Chi
7. Lambda Chi Alpha
8. Sigma Phi Epsilon
9. Alpha Sigma Phi
10. Sigma Kappa
11. Alpha Epsilon Phi
12. Zeta Tau Alpha
13. Zeta Psi
14. Zeta Beta Tau

They say they want a student ID to get in, or you have to be a "regular" or I guess you have to not look sketchy. I don't know, since I don't really go to the bars much.

Oh yes DP Dough...what's even better is that you can get it delivered from campusfood.com.

yes, Lambda Chi got Phi Sig Kaps house after they were kicked off campus for the alcohol poisoning death in the spring of my Sr. year. I still remember running into a few of my friends in Lambda Chi at Bentleys on the day they found out......all the brothers were "celebrating" indeed....LOL.....I just cant picture Lambda Chi anywhere else than the big white house (where Delta Chi is now). Good for Delta Chi. I always liked those guys a lot. I guess my DH's chapter (Zeta Psi) is doing pretty decent. Theyve been a B house the last few semesters if I recall correctly. They were a C (albiet a large C by the time we graduated) when we were at Maryland.

Oh, btw, any of you ladies watching the Maryland-Miami game right now?
GOOOO TERPS!!!!!!!!

Yeah, they actually had their own delivery people when we were at school....I think that was our Valentines Day meal the first Valentines day my DH and I were dating (we were def. the DEFINITION of "broke college kids" when we were in school) We actually went to DP Dough during Homecoming Weeked!

And I heard that about the ID thing. Its like if you dont have a student ID and you dont look like you "belong" there, its like a $50 cover

My favorite is the chicken fajita calzone. Breaded chicken, jalapenos, black olives, onions, cheddar and hot sauce. Except I get it without chicken since I don't eat meat anymore.

But yeah I can see the C-stone thing getting ugly and racist if it's left up to whether you "look like you belong."

Is Penguin Pizza still there?

Is the girl with the florescent green nail polish still work there? ha ha

Yes, the row has changed a lot.

But then the grahamn cracker has too.

Pika used to be the 711 and Sigma Chi, oh my Sigma Chi is no longer there. And that is just one example.

Could someone private message me and tell me which sororities are A tier, B tier etc? I'm just curious.

Thanks.

nope Penguin Pizza mysterisouly dissapeared one weekend my Sr year. Pike colonized in 1997 and when they did so they lived in AZD's old house (with pink carpet YEAH!) And Sigma Chi......Sigma Chi went from an A house when I joined to a C house and then to nothing by the time I graduated. Those guys burned a lot of bridges on campus by the time they left. No one liked them by the time they were gone. Hey, if anyone might know, is AGR still around? That was Rho Chi HQ during recruitment when I was a Rho Chi....lots of fun had waiting between the parties.....LOL!!!!!!

My favorite calzone at DP Dough was the one with the pesto in it, but I cant remember for the life of me what else it had.....it was SOOOO good!

Yep AGR is still there. I think Phi Delt is the new Rho Gamma HQ though.

YARGH!!!!!!!!!! we're 4 points down with 1:08 to play........COME ON TERPS!!!!

Thats it....DAMMIT GARY!!!!! LOL :p I get pretty heated about UMD basketball

Good Luck to your girls
 

Good Luck to all the girls in your group. I got to Frostburg and we start recruitment in Feb. We're not having formal recruitment this spring, as we had in the past, because the Greek Advisor is on maternity leave and couldn't find anyone to run it...

Anyways, good luck to your girls I know they will find the perfect group!! :)

Come to think of it, our Panhellenic Advisor is pregnant! I think she's like 6-7 months along by now, so she'll be pretty big once I see her again! That kind of sucks that you guys can't have formal recruitment, but I guess when there are only 3 chapters it wouldn't make a HUGE difference.

We actually have 3 recognized sororities that also participate in formal recruitment with the Nationals. But you would be surprised the difference Formal Recruitment does make even for just 6 groups. Each group seems to do best during formal. Frostburg is at a stand still with expansion, we can't get anymore National groups until all the NPC's are at total. Unfortunately, one NPC group on campus seems to be struggling each semester with numbers and it just doesn't seem like whatever they are doing is working.

Anyways, Best of Luck to all of your girls!! :)
