I remember the smallest chapter on my campus being plagued by rumors of their imminent closure the entire time I was in school. They didn't actually close until a year after I left, so these rumors were affecting them at least a good five years before they actually did close. It just seems somewhat interesting that they would joke about something like that. Seems to me like it would just feed rumors. Interestingly enough, according to irishpipes' list, they were closed about a decade after this yearbook was published. Also, one sorority chapter was bragging about nearly half the chapter having a 2.0. I'm praying that Bama had a signifigantly different grading system than the 4.0 system I'm familiar with. (Or perhaps it was a typo?) |
Alabama was on the 3.0 system through 1975..at least... Don't remember when they switched to 4.0. The DG chapter closed at the end of the spring 1978 semester. The Chi Omega house was often referred to as a riverboat because of its resemblance to one. It still looks like one, even though they added another floor. It's interesting how small the chapters were. Now they're running anywhere from 150 to 200 members.
Bouffant hairdos? Those are pretty mild. Now when they post the 1962, '63, '64, and '65 yearbooks...then you'll see some REAL bouffants.
