Better late than never...

This long but interesting bit of blogging comes from a Northwestern Sig Ep alum. He is commenting on the NYT piece "Ban of Brothers" that was published back in January. I'm just sorry it took me so long to find it.

I remember one day my freshman year (fall 1998) when Jason Elson and I walked from our fraternity on north campus to our Latin class in south campus, the Kresge building I think. We counted 3 hot girls out of 127. (I know how retardedly chauvenist this is! I'm reformed, I promise!) Now, the story goes, the women at NU are substantially better looking than the men. And I have to say, it may just be my diminished standards going to UChicago, but it certainly seems to be the case that the women at NU are way better looking now than six years ago...

The last casualty was Kappa Sigma, banished after its 2003 formal dance party at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. In a gaffe almost too dopey to be believed, a Kappa Sigma brother dropped a flask into the aquarium's beluga whale tank. Already on probation for an alcohol-related incident that sent a pledge to the hospital, the fraternity was booted off campus by Northwestern administrators (it can petition to return in 2007), but not before the brothers could make going-away T-shirts. They read, "Kappa Sigma --a Whale of a Good Time."

Brother Denevi, would you be so kind as to regale us with a story of your fine fraternity's fall from grace? Perhaps something that involves watching Sinatra belt one out in the wee hours of the morning?

And I have to add, when in trouble with the administration, the best thing a fraternity can do is to make a funny t-shirt. Sanders, you should post the story about the "Triple Secret Probation" t-shirt.
