Because, as part of Delta Zeta's initiation, you have to spend 24 hours in an inner tube in the middle of the ocean somewhere. I think chapters in landlocked states are supposed to use the nearest lake.



Seriously, those are some fugly ornaments. I shudder to think what AEPhi's ornament would look like.

I have always hated that AOII panda ornament. It looks like an ugly boy, and that sweater makes it look fat, if a panda can look fat.

Is it bad that I interpreted the look in his eyes as either imminent murder or imminent molestation?

ETA: That was probably a really, really bad phrasing, but it just looks creepy to me. I'm also slightly loopy right now =/

As best as I can tell, the nearest lake to Miami University where Delta Zeta was founded is Acton Lake about 5 miles north of town and it isn't until you get to the 9th chapter (U of Washington) that you get to a school whose chapter can properly use an ocean.

Note, there is actually a google hit for "Christopher Radko" and "Alpha Phi Omega", but fortunately it isn't Ornament related. (APO brother on LinkedIn.)

A latke with letters? I have no clue...but it makes me grateful that I don't have a tree!
