This was pretty cheesy, but back in the day, at least five of the people on the newspaper staff were greeks. They had a running "soap opera" in the Personals, starting with something like "If you're in Professor KnowItAll's 11am class, have blonde hair, and wore green yesterday, I'd like to talk to you." It went on for weeks prior to Recruitment. They'd make plans, then one of them couldn't make it, one of them transferred out of the class - all that nonsense. It was like those old Folger ads. The two finally met at a fraternity party, then went to a sorority formal, etc. It was truly one of the most read items in the paper, and there was a noticable growth in PNMs.

And yes, we always published the names of our New Member classes. Every sorority also had a name for their class, such as the QT Quota Class, or the Electric Eleven. We (as in ADPi) only published first names, though, as we considered more an invasion of privacy.
