1978 - 82 - Small midwestern college in Nebraska
Well, it was towards the end of Disco, thank goodness. I hated dancing to disco music, made all my curl go flat.
The song "We Are Family" was our pledge class theme. It was the only disco song I knew the words to - but I did like Meatloaf and STILL know all the words to "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights".
I can related back to colors - our pledge class sweatshirts where white with red writing. Fraternity Sportswear would send a rep with promo pieces and you would order your navy blue sweatshirt with embroidered letters. It was a big deal when in about 1980 they had a light blue hoodie. Woo Hoo!
Quarters was fun...fraternities would steal composites, and serenades were a big deal. We would take our pledge classes around to sing to the fraternities after we got our pledge classes and had a dinner.
Animal House came out around then - so then we all had......TOGA PARTIES!!!
Rush had lots of skits and song. We thought we were all that when we revised our Theme Day skit to a Grease Theme and wore 50's style costumes. And the slide show was made from pictures turned into slides! Took a lot of work!
