33 girl....you missed it again
I did not insult Clarion, and in being "less selective" I was referring to TKE versus some others who've made their position
plain. I visited Clarion, I believe, in Oct 1958 and believe me, the
school was eons behind many others in so-called procedures of
the time...but it was ME who recommended TKE go there, and the
many other places I previously mentioned....as to dullards, you have to be one of them, as I clearly stated my lack of bias towards teachers college chapters in my earlier posts...is that too
hard for you to grasp? (not sarcasm, but scolding)
The opening meeting of the student council at Slippery Rock was
comprised of New Testament bible reading (in a public college) and it harkened back to dimly lit societies of the 1880s. I would,
even though an alumnus of Kansas State Teachers College, be
less than candid if I stated this was higher education at its best.
The provinciality of the PA TC's of the 50s would even embarrass
them today...fortunately, us national greeks did bring some things
positive to these normal schools...(sarcasm). Even us rustics from
Kansas were cosiderably more into the twentieth century, but, then what do we know? We had flocks of easterners to came to
our campuses, bringing white bucks and shoplifting with 'em. They were not admitted to their own colleges, and had to settle
for a second-rate place like MY teachers' college...(sarcasm)
TKE, Sig Ep, Delta Sig, several others, have long been criticized by
old line outfits for being less-than-selective. Now Beta, SAE, Sig,
Kappa Sig, Phi Delt...all going on these old TCs...and some doing
quite well, but some are discovering the Sig Taus and Tri Sigmas
are indeed a force to reckon with in their own turf...can you get
that, or it that too cryptic (not sarcasm, but scolding)?
Actually, 33 girl, if you would try to be somewhat agreeable and
try to join us instead of constantly carping about our posts, it'd
be a more-fun site. I am sure you have some good points to share with us. Why don't you, and get the hell away from bein'
an old sow? (not sarcasm, just scolding). But I will say this, I do
admire you for standing your ground, however shakey it may be.
(not sarcasm, just a modicum of praise) Finally, it was fielders who were encouraged by men like Heller who opened the doors
of these teachers' colleges, streetcar colleges, commuter schools
and the like...and forty years later we are roasted for the very
effort we put forth...and with pride...get that? Shall we move on?
