[QUOTE=AOIIalum;1628189]We didn't do that, but did anyone else "snap"?

We snapped. Took me a couple years of going to work meetings to get out of the habbit of snapping when I agreed with something.

I remember open parties at the fraternity houses. only a few parties required you to be on the guest list. Most were open to any female. We had a board where people could list all the fraternity parties going on a particular weekend. Then we would pick and chose which ones to go to.

We also had fraternities that would host "after hours"- basically parties that didn't start until after the bars were closed.


Also, we called our mixers "Teas". So it would be announced for example that we had a tea with the Phi Taus on Thursday night at the Greenery from 6-9.

We also called the rush parties "teas" so we had open house, first teas, second teas, and final teas. I don't remember any tea ever being served.

Yep. They kind of half heartedly started having "tickets" and such, but these didn't last long.

Theta Chi always had happy hours on Fridays. You went into the basement at 3:30 - came out at 6:30 w/ a buzz and with it still light out. Ugggggg.

This still happens at some schools.

And I think a lot of chapters still snap--I know mine did occasionally as did others at W&L.
