It might be interesting to list those Greeks who have "Top"
Chapters at Kansas State. There must be several, and it is
difficult to categorize. Some may try, and personal preferences
may overrule one over another...I might go so far to say KSU
has more top chapters than likely anyone, and fewer bottom ones. The ladies groups are similar. Greek housing is great at
K-State, not all old ivy-covered manses nor Roman-pillared, but
comfortable and tasteful. I think the chapters take pride in the
care of the houses. I would be hard pressed to single out very
many as sub-standard. Wish this would catch on at CU and other
places...the filth, the second-rate shacks, the beer cans, trash abounding--which sickens old timers....oh, well, Kansas State may
not be as cool as the eastern boys or the west coast surfers, but
they will survive. Oh, yes, in the mid 50s there were a goodly number of New Yorkers and New Jersey students who matriculated to Kansas and other midwestern schools. Their states would not accommodate them, varied reasons. Some of
them were quite haughty and this Kansan reminds folks that
they brought us two things: white buck shoes & shoplifting.
