Omigosh, the memories! Yes, The Official Preppy Handbook reigned supreme, which made the few Greeks on campus stand out just a little bit more! Greeks hung out at a place with an ancient jukebox - you put in your money & talked to some little old lady who played songs with dedications: Shout, Runaround Sue, a lot of oldies, I'll have to think about them.
We gave gifties at Pref, and the Phi Delta Thetas did "Kiss and Carnation" on Bid Night. They gave each pledge a carnation (their flower) and a kiss to welcome them into the Greek System.
Hair was still stiff, as were the drinks, and yes, monograms & add-a-bead were required - IF you wanted to be taken seriously.
Couples still got lavaliered, pinned, then engaged. There was no such thing as a Candle Pass for a baby.
Sorority women were thrilled to be asked to be Little Sisters, and Sweethearts were serenaded (usually). Little Sisters knew the fraternity handshake.
Alll women had at least two Anne Klein wrap dresses - very forgiving if you partied too much over the weekend!
Fraternities still had Best Dressed Sister and Pledge Awards, and insulting a sister meant that they sent flowers to the entire sorority or were permanantly snubbed.
