Interesting. I kinda wonder if this is why "tent talk" is at a comparatively low level at Illinois, too. Maybe I was just oblivious, which is also possible.

My non-greek roommate could care less, my brother and his friends had nice things to say about every chapter, and it was only talking to other PNM's that I felt like the gossip came out.
