You're right. At the 50th anniversary of the LB chapter there, I was privileged to meet one of the founding sisters of the LB SK chapter and she brought with her a scrapbook she had made 50 years earlier of her time as a SK in Long Beach complete with articles about Greek Life and the things they did back then. I also met many of the ladies that helped recolonize the chapter when sororities came back to campus and they too had amazing stories to tell of the struggles they faced when faced with apathy and little to no support from the school.
ETA: It can suck to live at the chapter house and still have to drive to class. Boo!
