I rushed in '82...
Real candles, dresses below the knee and heels for chapter, sweetheart ceremonies, phone duty, pledge notebooks, toga parties little sisters and big brothers...
We had the dance from Come On, Eileen (Dexy's Midnight Runners) down and the song played at every mixer. Lining up on fraternity row during Hell Week like we were waiting for a parade - just to see whose house would be the loudest. Steak and eggs at the diner at 4 am before heading home after the fraternity parties. Throwing white roses out of the windows to the fraternity men serenading us. Touch football in the suite. Christmas cocktail parties with real cocktails.
And one thing I remember most about fraternity Hell Week because we all felt so bad for the Kappas - their house was at the end of frat row - drunk pledges heading to the Kappa house at 3 in the morning singing at the top of their lungs (and one or two always ended up peeing on the lawn - ew!). Totally off key and half of the words forgotten. I later learned that most of the girls spent the week elsewhere and only those that volunteered to "hold down the fort" stayed behind.
