Rush at Pitt Prior to NPC Crackdown!

i just had to add, that the line about showing off the seder plate is still cracking me up. just the mental image of someone talking that excitedly about it, i guess

At my campus, I think they just tastefully told women it was a predominantly Jewish house during the third round (I'm not sure, because they didn't tell the Jews).

I got this feeling that it was a form of commitment, like a pre-engagement or something, but it also said, "what's yours look like?"

Ah - recruitment counselors....still an issue today at Pitt but getting a little better - some of the things I hear every year are ridiculous.

I can remember the rush when I met you - the Rho Chis were actually trying to sit in on the Pref ceremony!

Uh, no. That's what the nice, comfy chairs in the hallway are for - Rho Chis!

Honeychile, I won’t lie….. I was captivated. After reading about those Pref. parties, the word “frills” now has a new meaning for me!

I am so tired but can't adjust to this whole time change after being away for over a year. Geez, everything I have missed. Can't sleep so I have read all of these. I always wondered how you got to ADPi after being a Kappa legacy, nice to finally know. You are always so neat and kind. Hope I am like that when I finish school and grad school and get out in the real world. You are the perfect ADPi, I have always thought that. Greeeeaaat! LOL

The Greek Advisor told my mother that both the Garnets and the Rubies hadn't realized my age, and that I had to have Parental Consent to accept a bid. ....

I find this very interesting ... I rushed (yes rushed) in the fall of 1970 at just turned 17 (by 6 weeks) and there was never any question about my age (at least that I know of) ... I should ask my mother and see if my parents were ever contacted.

It could have been a state by state thing. We've got some funky laws here.

Did I miss what sorority your grandmother was in?

Kappa Kappa Gamma, or the Rubies. That's why the midnight blue dress, and my confusion about the bids - the BLUE!!!!
