"Southern" Sororities? - Page 12

ACK!!!!! Primanti's Brothers is NOT a deli!!!! It's a trucker sandwich shop that's been hijacked into a "fast food" restaurant!!

It all started because it only OPENED at 12 midnight to 8 am, which is when you really need to have that hot mess of a sandwich! It became "the" place to go, and the rest is history.

Katz's, Shotsky's, plus all of the NYC corner deli's qualify as deli's, not Primanti's!

Also, I wanted to respond to the PTC comment. While Fayette produces plenty of greeks for schools like UGA, Tech, Auburn, and Clemson, I don't think PTC would be helpful. It is basically a town of yankee transplants, and it truly is sad to see FC(being PTC, fville, brooks, and tyrone), all going downhill.

And what exactly was in Fayette County that was so great before? Not that PTC is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but seriously - I am so sick of people in Fayette County bemoaning the "tainting" of their "wonderful" county just because - heaven forbid! - Yankees and minorities live here now. Get the hell over it. (Oh, and one other thing you can thank PTC for - they influenced the backwards city of Fayetteville to allow restaurants to sell alcohol by the drink, so there are actually decent places to eat now!)

For those yelling about journalists/journalism:

After a writer makes copy, it is out of their hands. It may go to sub editors, copy editors, editors, web posters, the janitor, etc. There job is to get as much correct as humanly possible. Sometimes it comes back for clairification. Other times the copy edit desk makes a copy change based on an assumption...something may be correct in grammar, but the change means something similar but different. Other times, during page placement/web placement, paragraphs get cut/pasted, and sometimes in the wrong order. It happens. Journalists, newsdesks, and printers are HUMAN. We do our best, but mistakes are what corrections are for.

In addition, many papers don't have style guides on Greek Life. (example, calling a sorority a sorority when it is in fact a fraternity). It is not in the AP style guide, so often they just go by what they know, and if it is a last minute thing, it may very well be wrong. Best thing to do? Send a letter with the CORRECT style (prefering to be called a fraternity), to help them avoid these things in the future. Perhaps get the local Alumn Panhellenic to send a "brief of information" about each sorority in the area...they probably allready have one made in some sort of compact form. Papers do hang on to these things.

No. The operative word was "trucker". The Primanti sandwich was designed so a trucker could supposedly drive while eating it. Remember, it's a "full meal" on two slabs of Italian bread! Read the whole story!

(I can't believe I just posted this in a thread on "Southern Sororities"!!!!!

Aye.

And the 3 inch bread on there is none other than Mancini's Italian bread, made fresh in McKees Rocks in the West End, the "other" Little Italy in Pittsburgh.

I haven't had one, or even been in a Primanti's in ages, but I think they do keep a defibrillator on the ready. Actually, I think that photo makes it look bigger than it is - but then again, I always take the fries off of mine. (I know, sacrilege!)

We have a Little Italy outside of Bloomfield?

If you want Italian pastry/food and you're too far away from Bloomfield, McKees Rocks is the place to find it, mainly in the lower Rocks, Broadway St. If you've never been to the Primadonna...I suggest you get a move on !

.

Although, Bloomfield is more, well, attractive?

Live and learn! I've heard that the Primadonna is wonderful, and there's a former church that's a beautiful wedding hall, but haven't been there.

drool ...

(Please note that I am not drooling over that sandwich in a way that would be unbecoming to my "Southern sorority")

What, exactly, is a debutante?

Some Southern traditions kinda weird me out.

We had an ADPi from the south come to help us out with recruitment and it was amazing how different she was than us... she didn't understand how we could wear jeans during rush. Haha.

A debutante is not necessarily a southern-only tradition. It happens at country clubs all around the country. College-age girls from wealthy families are "presented" to their parents' friends and families at a formal dance given in the debutantes' honor. The girls being presented traditionally wear white formal gowns.

To Shinerbock re: the Peachtree City comments- Would Peachtree City exist in all its glory if it weren't for the Delta airline pilots and their money? How many of those Delta pilots are true native Georgians, born and bred? And don't think Fayette county is the only one reaping the benefit of the Clayton exodus. Spalding and Henry are feeling it too...
