University of Miami - 1955
Hi,
I have lurked here for over a year, but never posted before because I was initiated in 1970 and don't really think that my experience is relevant now.
However, in a Retro picture thread such as this one, things are different. And since SWTXBelle, who has a really great sig, has bumped this and asked for more pictures while she fights with her scanner, I am posting some old yearbook pictures that I have from the University of Miami, Florida and my fraternity - Tau Kappa Epsilon.
These are from 1955 and I'll make several posts to separate them. First will be TKE and then one each for the sororities of the Little Sisters from my era. Yes, we had Little Sisters. Many of the houses did and most were sorority women.

UofM-TKE, those are great pictures. I need to get my hands on some of my dad's pictures. He pledged TKE at Wayne State University in Detroit in 1954 or 55.
SWTX: My Initiation dress was a white Gunne Sax. I have searched and searched for my pictures from my initiation and haven't found them yet. Someday they will show up. I was initiated in 1984

UofM-TKE- I love all the Miami pictures you found, especially of the panhellenic building, and all the goregous ADPi pledges

The lovely founding members of Theta Phi Alpha... Only 2 of them were actually collegians!

This thread is absolutely amazing.
I was on a committee last year to document Greek Life activities since our school was founded but I only took one picture. I'll have to go back through the yearbooks (when my school used to do them) and find some more!
But here's my chapter when my school was still Lawrence Institute of Technology in 1972 (or '73) a few months after affiliating (10/23/71)! (formerly Kappa Phi Sigma):
One of those guys is my Big (x18) Brother! I'm in one of the only original families
