We had our letters and some cute cartoon girls on it saying something like (I can't remember exactly cause Iam OLD) "Welcome to Texas A&M from AXO"-something like that-we had an awesome rush that year!!! It stayed up for 3 months.

To get to WSU, most of the students come from the other side of the state (average 5 hour drive) so everyone comes along one highway. All the Chapters used to put up HUGE signs along parts of the road welcoming their members back to school for Work Week (welcome back, we love our XYZ members, etc...), and it was really nice to see all the creative signs. But a couple years back, Pan (I think) decided we couldn't do it anymore because it was pre-rush advertising to the potential new members who come across early just for recruitment. It's really too bad because the signs were a nice welcome on that long drive, and a great way to get you into a good mindset for the year.
