Back in the day . . .
Okay all you "oldsters" - what activities, traditions, clothing rules, etc., did you have back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and you were an active?
Back in the mid eighties when I was in school -
- Fridays meant TGIF at Slutz - I mean Strutz. All the GLOs went and had certain areas they always staked out. Everytime I hear "You Spin Me" by Dead or Alive I am instantly transported back . . . the location is now home to the San Marcos WIC program. There's a joke there somewhere . .
- Stiff Stuff. It was required for those amazing, gravity defying bangs.
- We had to make our own little/big gifts. Dot lettering was a necessary skill. Paint pens were a girl's best friend.
- PNMs who went to pref received little gifts. What you were supposed to do with the gifts from the chapters you didn't pledge was never discussed.
- We used real candles for candle passes, intiation and rush. How the Stiff Stuff avoided going up in flames is beyond me.
