Fraternity question

That was the era of the Pikes having weight equipment on their back porch and sitting out there impressing everyone with their ripped selves...I remember driving by there and getting an eyeful, I won't lie. :)
Met some Pikes from that era this season at tailgates and I must say my daughter and I had fun getting to know them. :rolleyes:
Get it goldmom, she got some spunk!
 
GDI all the way. Could never have some younger guy haze me or tell me what to do and have to pay to be treated like someones slave. I came in as junior from out of state where fraternities were for either the rich snobby guys or for guys looking to hook up with other guys. Most the guys I met at FSU that belonged to a fraternity thought they were better than everyone else and acted entitled.
You met the wrong fraternity guys then. If you went for other guys you weren't initiated, most of us didn't have money, and most were down to earth.

I was a Pike in the late 70's and prior to that, it was somewhat true. My class started to change some of that perception. Most of the guys I came in with were good students and played sports. Fred Miller was the President when I pledged and a year later I was the VP. I ended up running against Charlie Crist for the position. That's another story for another day. Good times.

Did you know Ken Firth?
 
Checking in to represent the Divine 9 , which are the historically black fraternities/sororities. If Willie and staff were frat boys, it would probably one of them.

Where the Nupes at?!

Ken was a very good friend of mine while I was at FSU. I was a Lambda Chi but we were great friends in spite of the obvious rivalry. Good guy! I knew a lot of the Pikes back in those days.
 
84-88 LXA

Pikes were the blow dryer choir, playing lawn croquet and wearing blazers to football games

Delts: Were the dancing delts

Sigma Chi & Theta Chi were cool

They all finished behind us in intramurals and ladies
^^this man speaks the truth^^

Dang, FSU isn't the same without Lambda Chi.

You must be joking! I was there from 83-86 and as your neighbor to the South in the big brick house I call BS. Had many good buddies who were Theta Chi's though, Cheers.

It always came down to the Phi Delts and Pikes battling for the all sports trophy when I joined the Pikes 75-77. When we put some effort into the sports like swimming etc. we won it in 76/77.

Didn't you have some guys who swam for FSU around that time?

Two of us swam water polo and a couple of other guys were really good but no one on the intramural team swam for FSU. The water polo team was full of FSU swimmers.

With all due respect, while the Phi Delts & Pikes battled for the all sports trophy during those years, I recall that the Sigeps were a competitor as well.

Early 80's it was all LXA and PIKES, with a little Sigma Chi now and then. All 3 have had charters revoked, LXA is still not on campus

I was an ATO at FSU from 85-90. One year we were "paired" with Kappa Alpha Psi and a historically black sorority, I can't remember which one (we called them the Huxtables, cause they were hot like that) for homecoming. One of the best parties we ever had.

Seems that many of the frats down there have had more than their fair share of drinking & hazing incidents.
Being in a frat for me was a great experience, have many fond memories!

My first year we had a soda machine at the Frat house which dispensed Old Milwaukee bottles for a quarter....those were the days. We were adjacent to the KA and SAE houses.....we were the animal house. LOL

Oh yeah, the Electric Eye....god, almighty, what memories, good and bad that brings back. Also, Big Daddys....yikes. That SAE lion got painted 100 times while I was there. I think the original color was white...right? Which frat were you in?
