1895 University of Wisconsin house picture
 
There is a 1895 yearbook, from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, for sale on ebay. In it is a picture of the Gamma Phi Beta house. It is listed in the fraternity section along with Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta.

Also for sale on ebay is a pair of silver plated candles from 1890-1912. They have our letters carved in the bottom. Take a look.

I love old yearbooks!! I have several old UT Cactus yearbooks, other than the ones from when I was a student. It's really fun to look at the old fashions.

This is kind of cool because this is Gamma chapter's original house and not their current one - which is also gorgeous and can be seen here .

I'm actually the current Greeks editor for the Wisconsin yearbook -- we have just about every single edition of the yearbooks at Wisconsin, dating back to 1885, in our office. I've had so much fun looking through them and seeing how Greek life has changed.

Something fun about the UW libraries website is that they have every yearbook up 'til 1977 scanned and online, so you can look through old yearbooks without even leaving your house:

GP -- a particular favorite of mine (and you might enjoy it too because you've been on the campus here enough) is the 1931 book's "the campus" section. See if you can recognize some of those places . . . . the UW campus used to be so much greener! :p

That is really cool! I'll have to look and see if Texas has anything similar to that. I just love old yearbooks.

Does anyone else know what other schools have online yearbooks?
