Don't you know we don't give anybody the chance to fail in this country anymore.....everybody gets a trophy.
I blame soccer.
Never once got a participation trophy or medal for soccer, got one every year for America's past time.

Don't get me started on JP. And he is a Sigma Nu to boot.
I will speak to him now. Getting soft I guess.

There is no pool there anymore.
They've also mothballed the Pike house monorail.
Spent many hours chipping golf balls into that pool from money pit. Plus lobbing various other vile bombs over the wall with super sized slingshot.

Which house looked like a 70s Taco Bell? The Pike house or the Sigma Nu house? I'm guessing you mean the Pike house LOL. The Sigma Nu house (when it was next door to the Pike house) was pretty nondescript.
Yah, I never could figure out why the Pike house looked that way or was designed the way it was in general. Great frat, goofy lookin house.
I liked it. It was built around the atrium and the swimming pool. Some of the details looked a bit dated by the late 1980s, but the overall design was solid.
