OK, I hope no one gets offended by this one. The ASTs gave out notepads with "Alpha Sigma Tau" on the top. After I joined ASA, I crossed out the "Tau" on all the pages & wrote "Alpha." Every time I gave someone a note they cracked up laughing.

We did not have a lot of fashion options in town that wouldn't break the bank. Consequently we all ended up shopping at Fashion Bug (it was nicer back then) and you would go to a party and see the same top in all 6 different colors that it came in.

Zip at the ankle jeans. If you didn't have to point your toe to get them on, they were too wide.

$5 all purpose party shoes - basically, white Keds but bought from GC Murphy's or K Mart because you were going to get all kinds of alcohol and crap on them so it was dumb to pay more.

The last songs at the Roost on Thursday were always "Why Can't This Night Go On Forever" and "Hard To Say I'm Sorry/Get Away" w/ "Get Away" played like 10 times.

Now why didn't we think of that? My personal rule of thumb was I would stay at a mixer until the first drink was spilled on my shoes - then I was gone. (I was dating someone seriously, so mixers weren't high on my list - I went because we had to!)
