Ah, another person who's actually been to W&L. When did you visit?

January of 1991. I drove my car down to FSU, and stopped to stay overnight at the Phi Psi house.

Coolio. Virginia Beta, right?

My sorority little sister's biological big brother is a Phi Psi here.

Yes. Virginia Beta is Phi Psi's third chapter, and the first fraternity at W&L, having chartered in 1855.

That chapter has produced many prominent alumni such as:

George Chamberlain - former U.S. Senator from Ohio

John W. Davis - former Ambassador to Great Britian, U.S. Representative from West Virginia, U.S. Solicitor General and the 1924 Democratic Nominee for U.S. President (would have been the second Phi Psi U.S. President.)

John Otho Marsh, Jr. - former U.S. Representative from Virginia

Also, Kappa Alpha Order was founded at W&L as Phi Kappa Chi, but changed their name because it was too close to ours.

I miss snow so much. I remember when school used to be cancelled because we had 3 feet of snow on the ground and the wind chill was -70. Now everyone here has there scarves and wool hats on because we are having a cold snap, the low may reach freezing (gotta cover my banana tree!) and highs are only going to be in the low 60's! Talk about cold!

since i am about an hour or two away from lexington in the hills of VA.. we have quite a bit of snow right now.. i was walking around campus with an umbrella when it was coming down like buckets.. that was the only way i could see.. haha..

though we never cancel classes either.. so dont feel bad.. we did for the first time last year in like forever only bc VDOT ran out of money in their budget..

today a bus even wrecked and the bus i was taking home tonight had to be detoured bc of that road (its just one big hill)....

Yeah, I think I'd heard most of that before. It's kinda funny to me.

It's snowing here to. It's actually very pretty - it's the BIG chucky snow flakes

I just don't want to drive in it (blah)!

GeekyPenguin · #24 12-04-2003, 06:59 PM

I live in WISCONSIN and it's not snowing.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

If I don't get a big snowy winter, I'm seriously going to cry, because it's my second-to-last winter here.

TigerLilly · #25 12-04-2003, 07:35 PM

Y'all are so lucky! Appreciate that snow -- go play in it, make a snow sculpture, have a snowball fight, or something! I miss snow!!! (It doesn't snow that much in Germany where I am...ie, it hasn't snowed yet and it probably won't til late January or so.)

No fair! I've never had a snow day in college.

Now hurricane days are another story...

The high for this weekend in Tampa is 60 degrees - and the low is 39

I guess I better get used to the cold weather for when I go to Jersey for Christmas!
