How long do you hold on to your sorority/fraternity magazine?

[polarpi]

I'm pretty sure I have all of mine since I was initiated, it's just (as others have said) WHERE they are.

Currently, I have them on my bookshelf in my room, but maybe i'll pick up some type of 'magazine box" to keep them together in

I was holding on to them for many years but then I found them archived online as pdf's. Since then if there is something important I want to keep I'll hold on to them, other than that they get tossed in with my recycling.

Unfortunitly I too threw away old magazines and now wish I had not ever done it as many of My Brothers keep them and can go back to check History.

Because of finances, LXA has gone to an electronic magazine while it is saviing money that needs to go back to run a Greek Organization, it comes out once a month, gives the same information and can be down loaded to be saved.

Many of us were not happy, but, it has proven so succesful that I cannot wait for the monthly report instead of the quarterly magazine.

Unless I'm on the cover, I throw it away.

So how many have you kept?

[Tex1899]

I keep them all. I also buy old issues on ebay. Wound up with Vol. 1 Issue 1 as a result.

Where to store them will prove to be a problem...

I had held on to most of them, particularly the ones where I was in them, but I've lost some and just ended up throwing away the rest my last move. I just had too much stuff, something had to go.

I've kept them off and on. They are scattered about my house, lol. Maybe with the move, I can concentrate on 1 place.

It's cool now because I actually know some of the people in the pictures and/or articles.

As I mentioned before, my chapter has 4 very old bounded copies of the Quarterly that are soo neat to look at and see what is relevant now.

I normally don't keep mine.

I usually read The Adelphean or Deltasig (Delta Sigma Pi) and toss them after a month or so.

I do have one copy of The Deltasig that I have kept for several years - but only because I came out on the cover

Our chapter has every Adelphean bound like that - I really wish I could get mine like that. When I was in school, we used to look through them and laugh about how every wedding, every birth was recorded - talk about preparing a legacy!!

I never throw the Oracle away. They will be of historical and sentimental value to me. Now, we will be given the choice of receiving the hardcopy or the electronic version. It will be interesting to see what percentage of brothers take each option, esp. since the Fraternity is going to publish two magazines, one for Fraternity and chapter news,etc. and the other for more academic and op ed type materials.
