Back in the day . . .

I don't REALLY think you are comparing helping fraternity men pass out drinks to pnm to working at a soup kitchen, are you? I have this image of the homeless being helped, and fraternity boys . .. not needing it. And for what it is worth, I did a great deal of volunteering for a chapter of Sigma Chi, but I did not become a little sister. Why? Well, even then my sorority frowned upon it, and because I wanted to do what I did because I wanted to do it - not so I could wear their letters. I'm glad, 33, you had a good experience. I'm sure there were many groups that were above board and did not take advanage of the girls. But there were many who did. At any rate, there's no sense getting into a debate as the question has been decided.

So bring on the little sister group memories, all you Belles and Sweethearts and Little Sigs.

Not little sisters...but...had to love our Big Brothers who went by the nickname "Moonshiners" They were mostly the GDI boyfriends of the girls in the house, the hashers, a few baseball players, friends who didn't go to school with us..and a smattering of fraternity guys. The different Big Bro groups played broom ball against each other. We usually had a mixer with them. They would have a box dinner auction and the girls would bid for their dinners- which were usually very good..quite elaborate picnic dinners. I remember buying one box dinner where the guys wore tuxes and really did it up!

They were really nice guys. I'm not in any way advocating big brother groups but the guys themselves were truly sweethearts. And it worked out well for more than a few of them who are now happily married to my sisters!

We had Big Brothers, too! They coached our intermural teams and did the heavy lifting at rush. It was more of an "honour" than an actual independent group. Our "Moonlighters" were boyfriends and good friends of members.

Where'd my post go?

For the record, I was not a little sister...several of my good friends were.

anyhoo....

One of the Sig Eps decided to grow a ponytail and we referred to him as FirstName "I Think I'm Bono" LastName.
