I'll meet your "Holding out for a Hero" and raise it with a "Never Surrender". Spill it 33. Come on, you know you want to.
My memories involve early B-52s and Violent Femmes. The place would explode any time a song from either band was played. Needless to say that night we brought the band to campus tickets were sold out from just the Greek system! I think the tickets were like $5 for students. Those were the days.
Oh, and Leslie Anne, there were pearls too. Sometimes just on their own, sometimes in combination with a shorter add-a-bead, sometimes even pearl add-a-bead necklaces!

Twisted bead necklaces were really big - until cheap knock-offs appeared.

It's not scandalous or anything.
Scene: basement of the Crow house.
Dorky guy to my sister Cindy: Hey, what's up, what's your sign, etc.
(Holding Out For A Hero comes over the sound system because the brother in charge of music is busy, umm, imbibing)
Cindy: Excuse me, but I must go and jam to this.
Our song (sung at top volume in a circle in all public places) was Paradise by the Dashboard Light. It annoyed everyone but us. We eventually got the Crows to sing along with us (dirty lyrics, obviously).

Okay, so Never Surrender was our chapter song (we were the brand new chapter on campus, so it was a theme thing). It got played, we all stopped whatever we were doing to circle up and sing at the top of our lungs. It worked for us!

ahhh..the good ol' days
It was the early 80's....
*elaborate skits at every round of rush complete with themed food, themed drinks, and crafty,creative themed nametags!
*one telephone per bedroom at the sorority house plus the main house phone that no one ever wanted to run and answer.
*studying..er,cheating on pledge tests, hide and seek activity to find your pledge mom, fraternity little sister groups.
*white hose...yes, white hose
*Fraternity events like Sigma Nu relays, Sigma Chi Derby Days, etc always involved sorority competitions where alcohol was part of the event. For example, the three-legged beer chug. (can you believe that!?)
*I barely remember Cardinal Puff, must have been all that alcohol at Sigma Nu Relays, but I do remember playing "Hi Bob" while watching old Bob Newhart reruns...
I am sure I will remember more...

Such fun memories
Some of my favorites from the mid-eighties: real candle passes with real flowers on the candles, scavenger hunts with us "borrowing" composites (of course the fraternities would get them back once they came to serenade), paint pens and acrylic picture frames, preference night flowers and notes, and my personal favorite - house boys
