See, that's why you should have gone to Pitt! We have all that stuff, and sticky floors and disgusting restrooms to boot (quote from 33girl: C.J. Barney's has the only bathroom I've ever been in that's grosser than a porta-party."

State College is just too damn clean!!!

KR, Mitchell's is on Centre & Melwood. I remember well a sister sitting in a shopping buggy going much too fast the wrong way down Melwood, ending up on the Phi Kap lawn!

I liked the Luna, but that was before it moved. In fact, you know how you always sent those "our sister is a sweetheart of XYZ" to your national magazine? They sent my name & photo into the Adelphean as "The Moon Goddess"! I had some real explaining to do!

Been to the Silver Dollar a few times, good times.

Oh geez, the Luna!!! I'd only gone there a couple of times; it was pretty much owned by the 9th floor gals and their preppy admirers from the Hill with their noses surgically attached to the girls' butts. Ugh. Not my scene.

Plus, no way would I ever sit on those stools after those women had unless I had some kind of antibacterial seat cushion!

I think the most fratty bar here is the G-man. Interestingly, it's not a dive bar. It's more of a popped collar kind of bar...total sausage fest. I think it's the only bar in town that the line for the mens' room is longer than the line for the ladies' room.

Do they still have the Thrifty Bottle Shop?

KR - we forgot the Wooden Keg! Three drinks for a dollar on a Friday afternoon - I will never drink tequila again!

THEM?!?!?!?!? blech.

I went there on my 21st birthday and demanded to be carded. It's also known as the night I reached nirvana!

Oooh, and of course ZELDA'S with its quarter draft nights! And Calico's with all my beloved SAEs buying my Jack and Coke all night! I think it's called something else now.

The Decade, the Sanctuary (a gothic dive!), the Upstage (lesbian nite every Wednesday! just sayin' is all)

Oakland is just so sanitary now or something. Blah.

I'm trying to think of the name of a place at UVA (I was ROTFL when you talked about Brian!) that was SO nasty, guys didn't bother with the restroom, they used a corner of the bar. blech. It was an experience, but THE place to be, post meeting.

Did you ever get to the Transportation Club? It was like that!

Is there still a bar in Kent called the Rathskellar? I once spent the weekend at my best friend from high school and we went there with a bunch of her sisters. I had a great time until her roommate came up to me and asked if I could please put my lavalliere in my pocket and wear her lavalliere for the night (back before drinking in letters was the deal it is today) so that people wouldn't know I was a member of a sorority that was apparently not "top tier" there. I would have told her what do do with her lavalliere, but I felt that would be disrespectful to my best friend andall of my friends back in that sorority at Pitt so I just ignored her.

Oh, and the next night we went to a party at a place called the University Motel. I think it was one of those charge by the hour places! Fun times, though.

Yeep! It's in the basement of our Student Center. It's fun to karaoke down there. And for the record, Delta Zeta is totally awesome now. It suprises me to hear about their 80's/ early 90's "status". My best friend is a member so I can attest that they are a great group of girls.

And I know the motel you're talking about, it has since become the "Tally Ho" motel.

those are the best kind of places to be

As anyone who went to W&L or worked at KA or Sigma Nu headquarters will know, The Palms in Lexington Virginia is definitely one of the all-time most fratty bars I've ever been to. Oh so many happy hours spent there!

The Palms...

I spent a week up at W&L one summer for the Sigma Nu College of Chapters (I think in '00?). It was a good time. The Palms was good to us.

Ohhhhhhhhh yesssss. I love me some cheap Palms pitchers, some Palms popcorn, some boys in pastels, and some erotic photohunt.

Hahaha, first of all, I've never heard anyone ever say State College is too clean. Second, I did go to Pitt for my freshman year. Unfortunately, I wasn't 21 so I couldn't really go to the bars. Instead we went to places that had like 18-and over night on Thursdays...I think they were called Metro and Pegasus (one of our guy friends was gay). And there are plenty of bars in State College that have gross bathrooms...they're just not the most noticeable fratty bars cuz most of the guys are dressed down (jeans/t-shirts rather than pink popped collar polo shirts).

there is absolutely, positively, NO frattier (if that's a good thing) bar than the University Inn in 1988-89. Especially upstairs on Sunday after spring break. SIGH good times.

The G-Man? I think we usually avoided that place and went to the Lion's Den.

Mitchell's is still there but the Dirty Bird (aka the Giant Eagle) is closed now I think.

Zelda's, The Decade, Caleco's (now Fuel & Fuddle) are all gone, the Upstage is kinda hanging on but the last time I went there it was all ages. ew.

Where was the Luna before? Oh, and I heart Chief's.

I am an Erotic Photo Hunt champion.

For me, it's all about The Corner Bar.
