Iota Alpha Pi??

[mjberger]

I remember you, and of course Michael, from those very good days. I was a year behind you so you may not remember me but I have very fond memories of the phi-ep/ iota interactions and the yearly skits we put on together. The Iota "girls" I hung out with were Sue Schlitsky (?) and Ellen Katz (married phi-ep Lonney Coven), who is giving senior aerobic courses out on the Island. Your posting brought back so many good memories of the three plus years I was in phi-ep. Thanks! Marc

Because Queens was a very large, commuter school, it made it harder make a place for yourself, but, being in a sorority made it possible. We met a our "spot" on the Quad and had a specific table in the Cafeteria. There was always a sister around to hang out with. Our pledges put on Greek Letter Day skits competing against the other sororities. Happily, Iota won more times than not. We had parties with Phi Ep, AEPi, TEP. Many of my sisters married men (boys) from these fraternities, myself included.
I, too, have lost touch with my sisters, but have vivid memories of very happy times.

I'm sure I would remember you, but I assume that Berger is your married name. Sue was my pledge daughter. You were the pledge class that did the NY Times/Daily News skit for Greek Letter Day. I actually taught that skit to my campers one summer and they put it on for the whole camp. Everyone loved it. I've been in touch with a few sisters on Facebook and we are hoping to get a list of names together for a possible reunion. Maybe you can check it out.

I was jist reading the last lengthy quote on this thread, and re-read your posting and my reply. I neglected to notice you signed it Marc, and i replied as if you were one of my sisters. A little late, but i apologize. Sue Shlitsky was my "little sister" and i thought she was terrific. I'm glad you remember Michael. He passed away about 14 years ago, so it's nice to know you recall who he is. Sorry again for the error in gender.
