While I was an undergrad, I had a summer job driving a moving van, and I stayed in a lot of chapter houses during the summer.

The first stop was Fenn (Cleveland St.) and they had their hard core "hell week" during the first week of summer vacation - the weekend I stayed there. I guess I was surprised that the home chapter of a Grand Officer (Quallich) was so tough during pledging. I saw my first olive race there. Great award-winning chapter at the time.

Drexel was another great stop, and they were finishing up a full-scale bar in the basement. Some quaint Philly brewery delivered wooden kegs, which had cooling coils inside the keg, and they had the whole system. Great award-winning chapter at the time.

Another memorable one was Epsilon at Iowa State, just after the house had been built with the Kaser's money. Ate dinner with Spike K. Great award-winning chapter at the time.

Also remember driving all over Milwaukee that summer, looking for the Marquette Chapter listed in The Teke magazine directory. There was no chapter - apparently the editor/staff got Northern Michigan U in Marquette, Michigan, confused.

Later went to a Prov. Conclave in Marquette in the middle of the winter. Plane couldn't get us to within 100 miles, so we rented a car and drove - with snow on the roadsides higher than the car.
