Congrats!

Hopefully they also will be given the explanation of why Gamma Sigma Sigma is in the ECSU yearbook, but ECSU is a new charter. (Not sure if you want to send the Colony Historian a link to this thread on greekchat

Hopefully those sisters at ECSU from the 1970s who initiated at St. Augustine can be invited for Chartering and be made honorary sisters of the new chapter as well.

elliottoge, do you have contact with any of the others who were at ECSU with you?

I have maintained contact with one sister.
Thanks a lot for your assistance inthis matter.

I haven't seen a pledge club name for GSS other than the Omicron Club and for Alpha Phi Omega other than the Trefoil Club. Please enlighten us....

This is only anecdotal, but I've heard of some chapters calling their pledges Torches. Or maybe that's a Viking thing. Whatever the case may be, I go by what I've seen documented at the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center.

naraht, if you haven't been yet, I promise you will be in hog heaven looking through the old yearbooks.

I went to the stacks of the library looking for yearbooks, but anything that is more ordered than that would be good.

Senusret,

BTW, I was *asked* by the Zeta Phi brothers who won the next sectional conference to do a "History of Alpha Phi Omega in Maryland, DC and (northern) Virginia". I told them I didn't think I was qualified.

Don't go to the stacks -- have the helpers at Moorland-Spingarn just bring you yearbooks from like 1950-1980.

By the way, not qualified? Stop the lies and tomfoolery, Brother! lol

Well, my wife is helping me so that we should be able to put together something. BTW, just picked up from eBay a mug from the 1984 convention in DC. Now all I need is something from the 1968 convention.
