Because Queens was a very large, commuter school, it made it harder make a place for yourself, but, being in a sorority made it possible. We met a our "spot" on the Quad and had a specific table in the Cafeteria. There was always a sister around to hang out with. Our pledges put on Greek Letter Day skits competing against the other sororities. Happily, Iota won more times than not. We had parties with Phi Ep, AEPi, TEP. Many of my sisters married men (boys) from these fraternities, myself included.
I, too, have lost touch with my sisters, but have vivid memories of very happy times.

I joined Iota at Queens College in 1968. The chapter was vibrant and very active even at that time. I vividly remember the Iota table in the "Caf" , which if I am recalling correctly, was between Phi Ep on one side and Delta Phi Epsilon on the other. I recall wearing one red knee sock and one black knee sock as well as my red pledge beenie to school every day during pledging. You would not have been able to predict for an instant that the National would have been dissolved by 1971.
