Also, it would have been pretty much impossible to do that with the university's current policy about the greek houses - if you currently live in the house and you are making occupancy, you have "first dibs" on that house. It really worked out for the best for us, as I think that our current house was much easier to remodel into a home fitting for a sorority than it would have been to change the former SAE house.

When I was at UPS, Pi Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma shared Smith Hall, and Tri-Delta and Theta shared Schiff.

I never heard that rumor....The key of course is making occupancy.....

I never lived in the dorms so I couldn't remember which was which.

When did A Phi and G Phi get on to Greek row?

I (naturally) loved hearing a Pi Phi story!

I started thinking Big Bird was Pi Phi when I read this:

Our chapter does this, in fact, I just picked up my pillow for my second little the other day :-)

How fun - I still have my pillow. What a great tradition! I was never crafty enough to make my own, but I'm so impressed by the women in the chapter now and these gorgeous pillows, complete with angels, arrows, letters, their little's names, that they do themselves....I'm not quite Martha Stewart enough for that!
