I can smell the paint pens just reading this thread! All my friends on my floor would bring me stuff to paint their letters on, which was good since I had already put KKG on everything I could find. I got really good at drawing Theta kites.

We received pref gifts that we took with us, and the ADPis bid cards were done in counted cross stitch. The sisters on that committee worked on them all summer long.

Formal chapter meetings were a sea of Laura Ashley dresses. Our pref dresses were navy taffeta for two years, then changed to our choice of white with light blue or dark blue chintz sashes.

Did anyone else find out who their big sister was with a scavenger hunt? Or get taken out for a pledge kidnap breakfast?

Ah, lets go back to the 60-70's!

Much more formal as far as dress went on Campus!

Dress was semi formal for guys, coats and ties for meetings.

Meeting days were every Tuesday night and we wore appropriate attire on campus and meetings. Let the Campus know who we were!

Weekends, oh well, look out as that was fun time! But, letters were worn on T-Shirts once again to let them know who were are/were!

Now! They wear beer, or shoes, GAP, Old Navy shirts!

That really promotes GLOs!

1978 - We did - we matched up socks. We would go hide in the house somewhere and the pledges would come look for a sock to match up with theirs. And we did kidnap our pledges for breakfast and took them, of course, to McDonalds. We kidnapped our Big Brothers also, to let them know they had been selected. The Sig Eps did that for their little sisters, too. What, people don't kidnap people anymore?

We went to Mcdonalds for everything, especially large Cokes and Fries when they were doing the Monopoly game. And then there were those that did dumpster diving.....yuck! but they would come back with bags of still warm food that was thrown in the dumpster at the end of the shift.
