Founding location reflected in Events/Party themes?

[naraht]

To pick an non-example from the NPHC, Alpha Phi Alpha was founded in New York (Cornell) and Omega Psi Phi was founded in DC (Howard), but I've never heard of any event (other than a national anniversary) that either of them does which would cause an outside observer to be able to tell which one was founded in which place...

Does your Fraternity/Sorority do anything as an Event or Party Theme or anything like that that would cause an outside observer to guess what state or section of the country that your GLO was originally founded in?

Not one fraternity, but on some campuses "Miami Triad" parties (events) are held. The Miami Triad is Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi - all three having been founded at Miami University.

"Monmouth Duo" parties (events) are also rater common. Monmouth being the college where Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma were founded.

I believe the "Syracuse Triad" (Alpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Gamma Delta) may also have events/parties.

Yes, the Syracuse Triad will do themed events.

What would that involve? Holding a party in 2 feet of snow?

Sigma Nu and ATO chapters have been known to have "Blackfoot/Whitefoot" parties.

I don't know that we've ever included KA on anything as the 3rd member of the Lexington Triad.

KA does old South I think.

I know that there are Farmville Four events.
