Homecoming Floats...
I just wanted to let y'all know that homecoming was this past weekend at Clemson... and Lambda Chi won first place in the float competition!! It was an awesome float. The theme this year was "Paws and Stripes" so they had a semi-circle of the letters (about 10ft high each) with different patterns in them. The patterns included: flag, army/navy symbols, tiger eye, clemson paw... hmm i can't remember the rest. Then in the middle was a tank that was going over some rocks, then on top of the letters was a banner that said Paws and Stripes.. it was awesome!!
If y'all want I'll post a picture as soon as I get one!!
Just wanted to let y'all know how great these guys are here at Clemson!!

Actually, it's not a parade, we have a parade for First Friday (the day before our first game) where the sororities makes floats that are on the back of trailer things... and we all walk.
But for homecoming, they (the school) puts big posts in the ground (as supporters) on our main field that you see when you get to campus. (totally messes up the field) so all the fraternities are lined up. And we spend all week making them (the girls help and bring out food/drinks to the guys). They got 2nd last year, but first the few years before that. They ALWAYS do good. It's awesome.
I am trying to find the good pictures of the float from last year, the only one I can find at the moment is my brother (lambda chi) and myself in one of the cages -- it was a circus theme -- here goes:

I think Tom was meaning the LXA CS at the bottom. Before, she had LXA Crescent Sister, and must have shortened it. I assume it's like the crescents that IHQ had before, but this is just a chapter thing, little sisters.

Yeah, Corbin's right... it means Crescent Sister. I HAD " LCA - Crescent Sister " written before, then someone was like they got rid of them a long time ago. So I was like, uh...ok... and just put CS. It's just a chapter thing though. But if y'all are offeneded/mad that I have that written there, I can always take it down!
I'll have more pictures shortly!! Don't worry. My parents have a digital camera (at home) and have sent me some pictures from this past weekend... so I'll get the rest soon though!

I am not worried in the least. As long as we have beautiful women promoting LXA, we'll continue to be fine.  You keep it up there, and do so with pride.

I'm kinda pissed that nationals felt they had to do away with the Order of the Crescent. It has a great history here at our chapter, as I'm sure it does else where. Oh well...just one more thing about INT that bothers me...

I was very proud when some of my brothers (contemporaries) at Beta Nu devoted themselves to researching history, heraldry, and even mythology to write an excellent initiation ceremony for our Crescents. Let me tell you something - it was First Class all the way!
We were proud of it and so were the Crescents. Then the year after I graduated, Nat'l came down and confiscated every copy of that ritual. (Well...almost :-)
What they did was destroy the concept of that organization and to this day I don't understand what they were afraid of. I'll tell you, it wasn't just the girls who shed a tear. The brothers were equally devastated.
But all this came about right after the architects had left school and all that remained were a bunch of wimps and weasles who knuckled under without a word.
LONG LIVE THE CRESCENTS!
I'm glad there are some still out there. We still Love You and want you back!

 Aw man, JonoBN41, that's terrible! ... I LOVE being a Crescent sister, I have a little and a big brother. My big brother used to room with my real blood brother... so that's how I got to know him... he's also a cheerleader at school (and a cutie too... but then again, y'all all are!!). And I am getting ANOTHER little brother this semester, I'm really excited. There are 14 AMs left... and I've got my heart set on about 2!! Anywayz, I better get back to work here (I'm co-op ing... sitting in a cubicle programming... think Office Space, the movie).. BORING. I actually sorta miss taking classes! But I'll be back next semester.
Enough of my rambling.. have a GREAT day fellas!!!

AXO-Stevie, I agree With Brother Jono. He and I talked about it at the BN 30 th Anniverssary.
It is my understanding that LXA is a Male Org. and it was looking like it might become a He/She Org.
All I have to say Is BS!
It was a decision made and Headquarters , but the members felt that it helped cement relationships with Soroitys and women in general! Letting the other side know what we were like, not what we did in Ritual as it were!
I for one and many of my Brothers Thank you for what you said and how you feel. It is good to know that My Brothers are respected around the Fraternity!
