When did Donna Karan go to NYU? What years...compare them with their founding....I know they're a recol.

She went to Parson's School of Design in the late 60s and early 70s, not NYU. I just googled her and found that out.

Does this mean that Mrs. Campbell is not a Kappa, and those fleur de lis on the soup cans are *gasp* meaningless?

But they told us that back in pledge education 20 years ago! I've heard it enough times that it must be true!!

Snicker.

EEKappa, You have got to be kidding -- you don't look nearly old enough to have been a pledge 20 years ago.

Also ...hmmmm . . . this is another reason why today's shorter new member periods make sense -- there's not enough time to pass along all the misinformation.

YES!

ROTFL!

Best reason for the shortened new member period I've heard!

(Actually, it was 21 years ago, and we were also told that Candice Bergen was a Kappa. She pledged, but didn't initiate at Penn.)

You can keep JJJS - That guy is an asshole, always making people shout his name all the time...<shakes head>

Jealous? Besides I heard from a friend who dated this girl who's father works with a guy who's cousin was roommates with a Beta that Vanilla Ice is a Beta, so I'd think twice before knocking JJJS.

I know my history and policies. Why are you bothering me?

Don't tell everyone XYZ is your "brother fraternity/sister sorority" just because a lot of you hang out there or date them.

Don't tell people your GLO is one of the largest in the US when it's not. It's called the Internet. People can look things up and know you're BSing them.

Don't repeat the "pin on the moon" and "brothel" myths. They simply aren't true.

Yes, maybe Brooke Shields is your sister...but it's not THAT Brooke Shields. This is where a lot of the fake "famous Greeks" come from.

Whew, that feels better.
