another merger?
Delta Phi, a small elitist eastern outfit, is sometimes known as
St. Elmo, and Delta Psi, another dashing group, is generally known as St. Anthony. What if the two groups merged, would they be called SAE? Would the Sig Alphs take 'em? It was a real
kick back in the 50s to visit with the eastern outfits, long before
Williams, Bowdoin, etc kicked them off. Their philosophies were
certainly elitist, and they were more concerned with muted hues
from their indirect lighting in the study than they were of growth.
Then Zeta Psi had to go out and charter at Nebraska Wesleyan,
hardly a Yale...now look where some of them have gone...funny.
Then there are us rustics like Tommy and me, from teachers' colleges (now State Universities!) and even Beta has to wipe off
the cow shit from the bull barns at Purdue. It has been fun, and
some of us "old timers" are in a quandary about extensions, of
glorified shopping centers, inverted mineshafts, gosh, perhaps you can be a Theta Delt by means of the internet!
Worth watching.
Yes, there will likely be mergers, takeovers, absorptions, things we have not even thought of. Even us biggies have law suits galore, and some of us might even bite the dust. Sororities are
less likely to be hurt as they may claim they are dry but they go
across the street and drink, throw up and die at the Sigma Pi's.
This is, of course, hypocritical. And not much we can do about it
other than educate. Ultimate in gall: one NPC had a pissing contest with one of their good chapters, so they closed 'em down
and took their house..as HQ...in Denver. No mind, not much in the
midwest anyway, but had some real good folks here...once.
Yep, worth watching
