i have - my brother is a student there and AOII was chosen as one of the three finalists to present on that campus just recently.. although AOII turned down the opportunity to present due to other reasons...
Additionally, the story says the house was being cleaned in 1889 - AOII was not even founded until 1897...
that article has been circulating for years... i have been to that house... which now belongs to the university...
additionally, the pineapple was not the symbol of AOII. The pinapple is the symbol of hospitality used since the civil war times in the south... and was used on many building to express hospitality, in fact it is the lapel pin symbol of the Hospitality Industry...
I hope this will clear up some of the misconceptions....
additionally, if you look at teh rest of the stories on the page, i think it will clarify that this is as true as the rest of the stories on the seminole star page.... in case you don't want to look, some of the titles are "Fraternity Returns Pregnant "t Was In The Water", "seminole princess" - a story about a FSU student who will marry Prince William in Nov. 2002,

AND if you go back farther to
http://writing.fsu.edu you will see it is a creative writing class website.....
I love a good story as anyone.... but this one is unfortunately untrue!!
