My parents bought me an electric typewriter when I went away to college(in 1987).....

What a great story! It was very well-written and engaging, not to mention exciting because of 22 chapters. I was convinced you were lying because I was so sure that Kilkenny was AOII and I couldn't believe it when you said you didn't get a bid. "Congratulations" 20 years later on AOII! I would love to hear more stories from the 1980s complete with outfit/makeup/hair descriptions!

I'm not in the is picture, but it is the same year - it is the AOII seniors at Bid Night 1987. (Got this from AOIIGal.) You can see that some of the girls are wearing their Mickey Mouse ears from first stage.

Those were really popular for awhile. I have an ASA one handed down to me. It's in my ASA box (somewhere).

It's called a boda (I have no idea if that is how it is spelled.) It is a leather/suede drinking pouch that hunters use. All of the fraternities and sororities used them for their barn dances. You would fill them with "Diet Coke" and give one to your date and keep one for yourself.
And yes, the paddles are Tri-Lambdas as in Revenge of the Nerds.

Got that right, SEC Mom. When I went through in the late 70's, we all still had long hair pulled back in barrettes. Usually Goody Brand. And our hair was parted down the middle and curled with hot rollers.
