Jeopardy!

[KappaKittyCat]

Yesterday on Jeopardy they had a category called "Fraternities & Sororities," and thanks to GC, I got all of them right!

Anyway, here were the questions:

$400: A golden one of these is the symbol of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

What is a key, duh!

$600: This ancient musical instrument is the symbol of Alpha Chi Omega, whose oroginal motto was, "Ye daughters of music, come up higher."

What is the lyre!

$800: In 1989, Zeta Beta Tau abolished this pre-membership status in an effort to prevent hazing.

What is pledge!

$1000: Pi Beta Phi was one of the original members of the NPC, a group made up of national sororities, whose full name is this.

What is the National Panhellenic Council!

$1200: The first post-Civil-War fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega was founded at this institute, which produced many Civil War generals.

What is the Virginia Military Institute!

I was in the bathroom when I heard the $400 dollar question, and I shrieked, "OHMYGOD! IT'S A KEY! A GOLDEN KEY! OHMYGOD, KAPPA'S ON JEOPARDY!" and ran into the living room. My mom just gave me a Look that said, "Calm down, Andrea."

Yeah, I'm a dork.

Edited 'cuz I can't spell.

I saw it too. I got everything right except for the lyre.

I couldn't believe they all just stood there looking dumbfounded when the KKG question came on. I was watching it with my mom, and I was like... "Idiots! How can they not KNOW that?"
