Phi Delt>TKE
You mentioned a point that us three old fielders, Frank Moulton,
Wally Ginn and me...conversed and commented as well as some of the Phi Delt former pledges. Them and the Kappa Sig ones were so good looking, so well-mannered, but somewhat spoiled.
The Phis wanted booze and the Kappa Sigs wanted to haze and
the third group wanted to be a good chapter. It just did not work and while attempts to make something out of this mess may
emerge, I find CU a real tough place, poor housing, and what few
houses that remain are akin to the Ole Miss debacle. The Delts
and Betas swear they will NEVER return to CU; the new CU prexy
is a prominent and much-liked Delt, former all everything guy....
CU had a huge Jewish population and several greek groups with
Jewish preference existed, but the Zebes absorbed most of 'em,
others simply folded, and the open arms of the remaining offered
them bids...so the system lost a lot of houses this way, too.
CU is a greek graveyard with about a dozen dead ones and a musical chair game, house-wise. The vacated houses of Phi Delt,
DG, Kappa Sig, et al. are now say, Lambda Chi, boy Pi Phis, Sigma
Pis, et al. and they are fast risers...to their credit. But what will
happen to them when the Phis, Chi Psis, DGs, reclaim their free &
clear houses, and the occupants struggle to find housing? The Pikes started with 120 men, no house, but have toned down a
considerable amount. SAE is far from the powerhouse it used to
be and other groups have moved up, colorless, mediocre housing,
and little attractive to the rushee with big bucks...those who used
to fill the houses...many of which have been bought up by the CU
folks. These kids now live in luxury high-rises...as you've guessed
Opportunity out of defeat...again, but old wine in new bottles.
