Composite mascots

[honeychile]

One of our sisters was engaged to a disc jockey when John Travolta was just starting Welcome Back, Kotter. JT came to town, and she & her fiance ended up driving all around town with him all day, going from meet & greet to meet & greet. Of course,, she had her her lavalier on and JT asked about it - they were all in this van for about 9 hours, after all, and had stopped for lunch to meet another sister. Marcia told him, and jokingly asked if he wanted to be our Black Diamond Beau. He said, "Why not?" and when he got back to Hollywood, had a HUGE picture of himself - in our colors - autographed and sent to our chapter. I think it helped that Marcia and Ginny (the sister they met for lunch) were both very beautiful. According to one sister, he did say something about ADPi during an early interview, but no one else ever heard it.

So, the photographer had John Travolta's picture sized, and he's on our composite. Some clod took the original photo - it was about 24"x36", but the composite is usually dragged out for any type of homecoming. Hope that satisfies your curiosity!

I know on one of Sigma Nu's composite at my school their mascot one year was "Mr. Keg" . They put clothes on the keg. Thats pretty scary, guess they couldn't find something better that year.

Thats classy.

That's a pretty awesome story. Thanks.

Honeychile, that's hilarious! I think having him on the composite is even better than having the original picture around.
