Retro pictures

[UofM-TKE]

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

Tropical_Dancer,

One of my best friends at Miami was an АΔΠ. I'll post some 1970's pics later with her in them. We used to hang out at the main Greek spot called the Varsity Inn, which was at Lejuene and Dixie. We all had beautiful paddles on the wall. By the time that I left Miami, the VI was a Pizza Hut.

FSUZeta,

By the time that I got to Miami, the white dinner jackets were long gone. The hippies wore bell bottoms, we wore jeans or gym shorts and when we were feeling hippie, we wore striped bells. The Phi Delts who ran the VI, set the style. We looked good.

AGDee,

I found these pictures on the Internet. Pics from that era are hit and miss. Hope your dad has his. Getting old pics from my brothers and Little Sisters is literally like pulling teeth. They all want to look, but no one wants to scan.
