Exactly. I mean, I know our open motto is Aspire, Seek, Attain...but that's just covering up the secret meaning of Always Seeks Alcohol. Therefore, pics in letters shooting tequila out of shotglasses with crests on them please our founders greatly.

I heard you can't get the shotglasses anymore! I still have my sigma kappa crest shotglass though
I might be inclined to turn down someone who thinks that spelling Mackinley Makynlee and naming a girl that is a good idea. SRSLY.

Those aren't shot glasses. They are toothpick holders.

What about the double shot glass holder I have with the crest on it?

Oh, I forgot, that's where I keep my toothbrush.

As soon as I saw my huge Gamma Phi stein at the USC greek store, I knew I had to buy it. I've never seen one since.

I know I am treading into new territory as far as sub-forums go, but I simply had to throw my two cents in.

As a PNM, I have surfed facebook looking at various member's profiles to get an idea of what kind of girls are in the chapters (ones I have not met). I do this not to see what they look like, what their party behaviors are etc., but to see if their interests fall in line with mine. I know they are not complete representations of their respective GLO, but it is definitely nice to stumble upon a girl (or several) in XYZ that has similar taste in music/movies etc. It can be useful when trying to figure out which house to accept a bid from. PNMs rarely get the opportunity to meet a large majority of the girls, but knowing very basic personality characteristics about some of the girls may help. Also, this does not mean that if I encounter Annie Smith from XYZ during recruitment that I will go on about how we share many interests based on her facebook profile.

On another note, facebook can be a really positive tool for those who utilize it properly. It is a great way to pass along recruitment information; such as an invite only group during formal recrutiment, attendence to COB events by creating groups/events can be increased, philanthropy events etc.

Does anyone else thing that the "Applications" you can add to Facebook are junking the place up? Seriously...I've been playing with them a little lately, and it's turning it into the seizue-waiting-to-happen that is most people's MySpace page.
