Pffft...as if anyone could be truly happy in that godforsaken place






All in jest of course! As a Pitt alum I couldn't just let that comment go...

Fine, see if I let you know how DZ did during recruitment!

Just kidding, of course. I'll be Panhellenic and a credit to my organization about this. I mean, you having to spend 4 years at Pitt was punishment enough.

My evil brother in law (just kidding; I love him to death) is a PSU grad and he's trying to lure my daughters there with talk of fun football games and someplace called "The Creamery". Sigh. Treachery from within my own family...

Is Phi Sigma Sigma still at Penn State?
No, according to Jill's records in the chapter listings thread, they closed in 1970.

Phi Sigma Sigma Beta Eta 1946-1970

The Creamery is pure bliss. I've tried pretty much every flavor at this point and they are all amazing. Tips for newcomers include:

-Do NOT tell the cashier what flavor you're getting. They don't care, they just take your money. Tell them you want a cone or a cup (it's the same price) and then move along and another person will ask you for your flavor/container of choice. Know your flavor if you're getting a milkshake though. They need to yell that to someone.

-If you only want to get a pint/gallon/coffee/sandwich/etc then use the lines to the right of the main one. It's quicker and you won't hold up the line for those trying to get cones/cups.

-If you want to get ice cream but are scared of the massive portions they provide (there is only one size, don't bother asking for a small), then buy a cone and ask for a cup on the side. Then take a spoon and put half of what is in your cone in the cup and find a buddy to share! Believe me, it's still enough ice cream.

-No mixing flavors (unless you're former President Bill Clinton)! If you want to mix flavors, find a buddy and do the extra cup thing. They seriously won't let you and it's probably annoying to them if you ask.

-If you and your friends only want to get one flavor, just buy a pint or a gallon. They give you extra cups if you ask. Major savings (a cone/cup is $2.75 and about 8 oz of ice cream and a gallon is like $5.25 and 64 oz) and a quicker line (use the lines to the right, again).

-Don't bother trying to go before/after a football game. The line will take forever and I don't think it's worth it. If you can try to go at a random time, like just as they open or on a non-football weekend. Brave the line if you wish, but remember that I warned you.

/end hijack But seriously, come to a football game and eat Creamery ice cream. Every flavor is good (I'm partial to cookie dough and coconut chip) and if you tell me when you're coming I promise you a free cone or cup and limited Pitt jokes (okay, I can only promise one, so choose wisely ). The coffee is also excellent! Okay I'm done. We are truly too obsessed for our own good, haha.

Sue, your post is hilarious! And don't be shocked when CeCe and I take you up on your offer! Can you believe I've never actually been to State College?

The closest I came was my senior year of college when my Pitt sisters arranged a mixer with a PSU fraternity and DIDN'T INVITE THE PENN STATE DZs! A brouhaha ensued, they bitched to Nationals and we got our social privileges suspended for a semester. Pfft; I wonder if that chapter is still so tight-assed?

Having had three great-aunts who went to PSU, and two of them were Professors there (the cool one got her PhD at Pitt), I spent more time on PSU's campus than most collegiates. I was in their newspaper when I was four. It is a beautiful campus, and I'd like to visit one more time before I die.

That said,the only possible reason I even took a day's consideration in thinking about attending was the Creamery! Although, if they still make the Mounds flavor, it was nasty!

So that's the famous brouhaha you're always talking about.

My daughter and I were able to enjoy the Creamery when I took her to go look at schools. It was absolutely wonderful!
