I think Carnation was talking about the actual local society that started in the 1940's and 1950's. It was created as an alternative to Tassels, the honor society at the time. Several others came about (SOPHs, Fideles, etc.). Friends of mine that went to WFU in the 80's say the Strings were considered the wild ones....and I think they had some questionable rituals and traditions that bordered on hazing. Evidently when Pi Beta Phi absorbed them, they continued Strings traditions.
Carnation, correct me if I'm wrong!
