I wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS!! Occidental is an outstanding liberal arts school in a neighborhood of LA known as Eagle Rock, about a hop, skip and jump from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. The alumnae are very devoted and the students are high caliber. There are two local sororities that are about 90 years old, and there was a third that closed spring before last, I think. (I wonder if you're acquiring their house?) I don't believe there have ever been national sororities there, although there are national fraternities. (In fact, I fell through a hole in the floor at the SAE house when I was a collegian and we did a cross-town exchange! That house was NOT in the best of shape.) We've got some good friends who are very active alums, so I keep up to date through them.

Good luck to Theta at Occidental!!
