Loyola Marymount in California is the home of the newest Pi Phi chapter, California Nu.

Actually I think there was not NPC Greek life (presumably it was not allowed and then the rules were loosened) at LMU until a few years ago, and then they colonized several groups at once. Pi Phi is part of the expansion from the original group. I may have some of the details wrong but that is my understanding.

Well, I guess it depends on how you define "religious." Our first lay President wasn't inaugurated until 2001 (after over 200 years). There are crucifixes in every classroom except the intercultural building. Abortions are not given at the hospital and are not allowed to be discussed as an option at the clinic. Condoms may not be sold on campus, nor may they be distributed by the clinic or peer education.

There is a six-credit theology requirement.

There's other little stuff, but nothing major like mandatory mass.

And that second part you mentioned is surprising indeed.

Interesting to see some of the comparisons between our schools - we've got crucifixes in all our classrooms, everywhere. We have no hospital but to the best of m knowledge no condoms are allowed to be on campus - I've never been to Death Services and I didn't live in the dorms so I'm not positive on that one.

We have a 9 credit Theo requirement, and I don't think we've EVER had a lay president.

Rudey, great post dude!

Lot of Looking!

Yes there are Greeks at many Roman Catholic Schools.

Please do not use Catholic Schools as the Roman Term.

There are Anglican Catholics, Greek Orthadox Catholics!

Catholic in the Dictionary means Universal.

OK over that now!

As I understand it talking to a lady One of my customers, it depends on the Type Of Roman Catholic School and who is running it.

St. Marys of San Antoine, Incarnert Word, Rockhurst, Loyola, Duesquin, Creighton, ETC all have Greek Letter Organizations there.

William-Jewell just severed their ties to the Mo. Babtist Synod of about Gay Rights on campus! Da, 85 % Greek and Neat Houses.

We aren't talking about Catholics in the dictionary - we're talking about Catholic schools as in the religion, as in Roman Catholic. Anglicans are referred to as Anglicans/Episcopalians, Greek Orthodox is referred to as Greek Orthodox. I don't know anyone who hears Catholic in association with relgion and doesn't immediately think Holy Roman Catholic.

I think Loyola Marymount has had Greeks for a while as I seem to recall GPhiBLtColonel's sister joined Theta there.

Actually, I feel this is relevant to the post. catholic with a little C is universal. Catholic with a big C is pertinent to the Catholic Church, ie the Holy Roman Catholic Church. It's my religion and my school, so I think I am allowed to have some input.

A Catholic school is a Holy Roman Catholic school. A catholic school...well, I've never heard of one of those. The school of life, maybe?

Time to listen to Catholic Girls by the late, great Frank Zappa (whose blood brother is a Priest.)

I personally am a fan of the million versions of "Only the Good Die Young." I used to listen to it before going out..

"You Catholic girls start much too late..."

Billy Joel was asked to speak at Fairfield University some years back, a fine Jesuit school in Connecticut, and was met with protest because of those lyrics.

Hehe, there's a much dirtier version by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes...where he says "You said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation" they say "You said your mother told you all that I could give you was a mild abrasion."

Make sure the ones you pick out are pretty and also really good with Excel so they can help me with my latest project.

I bet it's you! I will see what I can do - we just had a huge data analysis project due in one of my classes so I'll see who got a good grade, then evaluate their hotness.
