Congratulations to Theta Phi Alpha and Phi Kap! I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the Pitt News acknowledging that there are good greeks out there.

This is my favorite part of the article; probably Honeychile and I are the only ones here who remember this...

Best Pitt tradition: Penn State Sucks

My heart swelled with pride when I saw this year's best Pitt tradition. Honestly, I didn't expect anyone to remember it.

You see, shortly before I arrived on campus, Pitt put an end to our chants of hatred for a team we won't play for many years. Apparently, the administration wasn't a big fan of tens of thousands of voices clamoring for a rival their football team wasn't playing.

They thought it was disrespectful or something.

But we know better.

Hating Penn State isn't just a tradition; it's a way of life here. It's part of what makes us Pitt, whether or not their terrible football team is scheduled to lose to us in any given year.

It's amazing and wonderful that, in a school where so many traditions have died away - a moment of silent rage for Pitt script, here - we can still embrace a rivalry that most of the students here will never see on the field during their enrollment.

So rise, upperclassmen, educate the young'uns about the glory of their forebears! Teach them the war cry of those who came before, so that no uptight administrator will ever silence our vow of contempt.

And, for those of you who haven't been bathed in the blood of Pitt's holy rivalry, listen and learn. No matter the time, no matter the sport, no matter the opponent, there is only one thing to remember:

Penn State sucks, Penn State sucks, P-E-N-N-S-T sucks!
