Another blast from the past..
The houses did not have central air conditioning. Most of us came back to school in August with window units. Because they made the house look ugly, people who lived in the front of the house had to TAKE THEIR AIR CONDITIONERS DOWN during rush parties and hide them somewhere. They could put them back at night.
We also did house tours. Girls on the second floor had to keep their rooms neat and coordinate decorations during rush week. We had poster checks, bedspread inspections, the works.
The front rooms at the Zeta house looked out on a lovely courtyard. The back rooms, on an alley. Most people thought that the second floor rooms were more desireable.
For three years, I lived on the third floor, in the back. I just couldn't handle the stress of having to put away everything before parties. Going up an extra flight of stairs every time was worth it to me.
Hope they have central air now!
