Perhaps having more than one ethnicity in your heritage changes the way people look. If you are old enough, think back to when you could possibly identify someone's heritage by looking at them. The stereotypes still exist, but not as much. We must be very careful not to judge people on their assumed heritage. It's getting better, but it still exists. Additionally, years ago, it wasn't necessarily proper to marry outside your ethnicity. Even in the 70s and early 80s, I remember ethnic issues going on at our church, which for many years was primarily Irish. Then the Italians moved into the area, and it caused quite a stir. Then Portuguese immigrants moved into the area, and the Church started having one mass a weekend in Portuguese. Anyway, it's just my opinion based on my personal experiences. |

My brother "looks" very German, however. And I "look" very Irish. In fact, we don't really look that much like each other at all - you would think my SIL and I are actually sisters and he married in - if you didn't see how much he looks like my dad (who looks like his dad, who looked like his dad, etc). /hijack (on my part, at least) I was looking at some of my cousin's pictures from the mid to late 90s when she was an active with Chi Omega. I can not believe how much things changed in the six years between when she joined and when I joined - but some of the pictures are pretty funny as far as wardrobe. The hair was curly with the curled under bangs and tons of plaid school-girl type skirts. I'm so glad I went through after 2000, where it seems like the fashion is a little simpler (of course we went from spending an hour curling our hair to spending an hour straightening our hair every day). I can't wait until I can look at my pictures and think "WTF was I thinking with THAT outfit?!?!" |
Thanks tangelo212!

I look back on some of my pics from when I was a new member (2004), and I ALREADY ask that sometimes (espcially with date party outfits and stuff I wore to mixers). |
Transylvania University 1993
All the new Phi's in 93.
http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-...71269_5325.jpg and our formal pledging: http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-...71268_5124.jpg It was the early 90's big hair wasn't completely "out" yet. :p |
a few years later than tangelo's mom was at uf, one of the events at fsu sigma chi derby day required each sorority to dress up their sweetheart-most often in a costume related to their theme. the year my sorority was crowned derby day champs, 8 of my sisters worked for several weeks constructing a realistic oscar the grouch costume for our sweetheart. except that it was made of orange fake fur, it looked exactly like the real thing, complete with trash can. our poor sweetheart almost got heat stroke, it was so hot during derby field day. it was a little too realistic, because the sigma chi brothers who were on the judges committee did not believe that the girls had made the costume, so we were only awarded 3rd place in that event. if only they could have seen all the remnants of orange fur we were still picking out of the carpets weeks after! good times, good times.

1984 Rose Formal
The girl in the maroon dress made all of our dresses. I'm not sure what cracks me up more: The satin material or that we were all wearing long gloves.

^^^For the win in the retro thread.
Gotta love 1984. I was all of 2 months old when this pic was taken. |
I was just going through my scrap book and need to show the current chapters how to authenically do an 80s Party.
OMG...The Hair...The Styles (flash dance and punk)...The plastic jewelry. Eeeek! |

Farmville, Virginia - 1901
I was lucky enough to get a copy of a 1901 yearbook from the State Female Normal School of Farmville, Virginia. Kappa Delta, Tri Sigma and Zeta Tau Alpha were in their infancy. Alpha Sigma Alpha would be founded about 6 months later. I looked through the entire yearbook for the future founders of ASA but found none. Keep your eye out for a founder or two of the others.
Sigma Sigma Sigma section: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...aintropage.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...SigmaSigma.jpg Kappa Delta section: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...aintropage.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...kappadelta.jpg Zeta Tau Alpha section: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...aintropage.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...tataualpha.jpg For those who are familiar with "Chi" which is still very active at Longwood University, it's interesting to note the first members: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...Anne87/chi.jpg Lastly, I think this photo of the "Basket Ball Team" is adorable. About half the team are members of the sororities. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...etballteam.jpg |
Those are so cool. Thanks Leslie!
I love that it has our old badge design and colors in it. Some people don't know that our colors and badge haven't always been what they are today. Sidenote: That cheer is still in use by some collegiate chapters :) |
I love the "Yells"

Great pictures Leslie Anne! I love to see the really old yearbooks like that!

That is so cool, Leslie Anne! I would love to see early Barnard College yearbooks.

ZTA picture
Thanks Leslie Anne. One note----look at all the hair styles in all the pictures. All basically the same. Only one stands out---front and center in the ZTA picture (and she is a member of the BB Team). I know of two women that have this same hairstyle today! 2009!!
|
I was curious, and I don't know if anyone could tell me, but the Lucy T.C. Stubbs of Tri Sigma...was the current sorority dorm at Longwood named after her?

That is soooo awesome Leslie Anne!
Thanks for posting that : ) |
You know, after reading those cheers, my own sorority's cheer makes a lot more sense. Whenever we sing it, lots of people say, "whaaaaaaaa?" but it appears that a lot of the "nonsense" rhyming was popular.
|
Thanks so much. This is awesome. I knew the daisy was our original flower but had no idea silver gray was an original color before pearl white.

Tangelo, I LOVED the 70's photos!

OSU Greek Yearbook Photos

BUMP - I'd love to see more, and now that gypsyboots is home I'm hoping to get some of mine posted.

University of Miami - 1955
Hi,
I have lurked here for over a year, but never posted before because I was initiated in 1970 and don't really think that my experience is relevant now. However, in a Retro picture thread such as this one, things are different. And since SWTXBelle, who has a really great sig, has bumped this and asked for more pictures while she fights with her scanner, I am posting some old yearbook pictures that I have from the University of Miami, Florida and my fraternity - Tau Kappa Epsilon. These are from 1955 and I'll make several posts to separate them. First will be TKE and then one each for the sororities of the Little Sisters from my era. Yes, we had Little Sisters. Many of the houses did and most were sorority women. TKE - 1955 http://www.tke-miami.com/graphics/Gr.../1955/tkea.jpg http://www.tke-miami.com/graphics/Gr.../1955/tkeb.jpg http://www.tke-miami.com/graphics/Gr.../1955/tkec.jpg |

Show us your 80's!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...enfair/1-2.jpg
That's me, rockin' the Gunne Sax dress in the middle - my big sis is in pink on the end. We are dancing to our signature "Uptown Girl". http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...idenfair/2.jpg What do you mean Romans didn't wear blue eye shadow and twist beads??? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...enfair/3-1.jpg Me receiving a badge replica from Grand Praetor Keith Sorenson - again with the Gunne Sax. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...idenfair/4.jpg We loved our Mexican dresses. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...idenfair/5.jpg Hello Kitty - very 80s. The pink rollers? A great solution for a bad hair day. |

UofM-TKE- I go to Miami too and I'm so glad you are scanning all of these old pictures, its so great to see how the school has changed in all these years
|
UofM-TKE, those are great pictures. I need to get my hands on some of my dad's pictures. He pledged TKE at Wayne State University in Detroit in 1954 or 55.
SWTX: My Initiation dress was a white Gunne Sax. I have searched and searched for my pictures from my initiation and haven't found them yet. Someday they will show up. I was initiated in 1984 :) |

Tropical_Dancer,
One of my best friends at Miami was an АΔΠ. I'll post some 1970's pics later with her in them. We used to hang out at the main Greek spot called the Varsity Inn, which was at Lejuene and Dixie. We all had beautiful paddles on the wall. By the time that I left Miami, the VI was a Pizza Hut. FSUZeta, By the time that I got to Miami, the white dinner jackets were long gone. The hippies wore bell bottoms, we wore jeans or gym shorts and when we were feeling hippie, we wore striped bells. The Phi Delts who ran the VI, set the style. We looked good. AGDee, I found these pictures on the Internet. Pics from that era are hit and miss. Hope your dad has his. Getting old pics from my brothers and Little Sisters is literally like pulling teeth. They all want to look, but no one wants to scan. |
