Tiny, what years of the Cactus do you have?
Let' see : I have 1938, 1939, 1941-1944 (parents'), 1951, and 1971-1974 (mine.) I do see them from time to time in antique malls, as well as yearbooks from other universities in the area.

Wow - I remember looking at my Dad's Cactus from 1950 and 51 (?). There were so many more NPC sororities then!

Wow, that's a glimpse of history. It's a shock to see how white the student body was. I'm sure the campus looks quite different now.

One thing that made me a little sad was seeing the Beauties. Many would be considered chunky today. It's depressing to think that we're putting young women into this crazy squeeze when just one generation ago, we all would have thought they had perfect figures.

Believe it was late '40s to sometime in the '60s.

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?)
