Great research Joiner! But I have to say, the more things change, the more they stay the same:
Lambda Chi is still the best damn fraternity in the world turning out successful men year after year!
The 20's were a really fun time for those living in the big cities, but as for the farm boys, probably not as much fun. Prohibition hadn't taken effect yet, the Great Depression was still a little off and with WWI just being won, the USA was in pretty high spirits.
Umass, then known as Massachusetts Agricultural, (Mass. Agi. for short) was still a farming school. One of our very old alumni used to tell stories of the parties they threw in the early 40's late 30's, and they came pretty close to modern day parties.
I guess there would be a big difference between a public farming school fraternity throwing a party to that of a private Boston or New York fraternity throwing a party.
