I pledged in the fall of 1970 ...

we had

flowers we got to keep at pref - we went to 3 prefs so by 3rd pref the sisters knew by what flowers you were carrying which 2 prefs (or just 1 pref) you had been to.

our pledge class was Iota and we had pledge class outfits ... awful polyester tunics and pants (yuch!!!)

we wore formal gowns for preference and had actual themes and skits and made name tags for rushees for each party in line with the theme which they got to keep.

as pledges we carried a notebook which had a page for each active. we had to schedule interviews with each active and each week we had to get 5 signatures from actives. we also had to organize and fund a dance for the pledges and actives prior to being initiated. we didn't get initiated until we had grades -- we lost a pledge when she decided over Christmas break she didn't really want to be in a sorority.

candles were real and we never had a problem with anyone getting burned.

1992 minus the tunics. Our pref/greek sing gown was rather classy for the time though. It was a black velvet top with red satin bottom with a big red bow in the back.
