That is right. The girl who was purple had the name of Violet Beauregard. The oompa loompas squeezed the grape juice out of her.

I do remember Veruca Salt, and she was a rich, spoiled brat. She wanted her "oompa loompa NOW".

Good to know. I will eventually get around to seeing the new version.

I loved Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka.

Anywho, the semester I went out for recruitment, there was a girl who was torn between Theta Phi and XYZ. She *really* loved Theta Phi because "the letters are soooo pretty," but she wanted to go XYZ so that when she sat with them at lunch, she could be envied by everyone else in the room. She went XYZ and depledged a week later.

When I went though recruitment, I was intrigued by KKG and Tri-Delta. I think it was something about the multiple letters, like it meant something really special and interesting. I was totally clueless about greek life before college and I guess I thought some sororities had chosen their letters randomly?? At the time, I hadn't heard of any other repeat-letter sororities.

So half the curiousity has been satisfied, although it's not the reason *why* I pledged Kappa. I am still a little bit more interested in what Tri-Delta stands for than any other sorority. Silly but true!
