Some observations:
I really would like to know the story behind this blurb from Chi Omega:
Quote:
The Chi Omeagas would like to clear up some current rumors on campus: No, we don't get seasick in our riverboat, but we do have the most outstanding pledge class on campus. No, all of us did not get married this summer, just half the chapter. Yes, you probably need a translator if you really want to understand what we're saying. Well, I mean, you know, it's a major panic!

I'm assuming by "riverboat" they're referring to their house . I can see the comparison.
In any case, that chapter seems like a hoot.
I found this in the Delta Gamma section:
Quote:
...Found that we had won two awards- first place in activities for large campuses in the United States and most improved scholarship for our province (and national keeps threatening to pull us out?)

That comment at the end seems way more candid than anything I could imagine from a modern NPC chapter.
I remember the smallest chapter on my campus being plagued by rumors of their imminent closure the entire time I was in school. They didn't actually close until a year after I left, so these rumors were affecting them at least a good five years before they actually did close. It just seems somewhat interesting that they would joke about something like that. Seems to me like it would just feed rumors.
Interestingly enough, according to irishpipes' list, they were closed about a decade after this yearbook was published.
Also, one sorority chapter was bragging about nearly half the chapter having a 2.0. I'm praying that Bama had a signifigantly different grading system than the 4.0 system I'm familiar with. (Or perhaps it was a typo?)
