"Fat, Drunk and Stupid" Watch

I see that the coppers have raided Dartmouth's Alpha Delt, the real-life original for the infamous Animal House.

I smile because I happen to have been an Alpha Delt at the People's Glorious Soviet of Middletown back in the day. (Actually, I suppose I still am since the national organization tried to hit me up for money not that long ago.)

Of course, the place being what it was and Yours Truly being the kind of contrarian he is, our house was nothing like the one up at Dartmouth. For one thing, we were one of a half-dozen coed chapters around the country. (There was one at Brown as well. Also one of the New York City schools and a couple schools out West.) This brought a whole new dimension to rushing and initiation.

For another thing, we were always called the Wine & Cheese house because we held poetry readings and the like. And before you snigger too much, just let me tell you that my English Department advisor did a Poe reading every Halloween that was tremendously popular. He had a deep, baritone voice and could give you the absolute creeps.

But despite all that, the main thing I remember were the annual theme parties - the "Vortex", the "Decadence" and the like. And I am here to tell you, friends, that Brother Bluto and his crew had nothing, nothing on what went on at these gigs.

I'd tell you all about it, but of course those records are permanently sealed.....

Funny, I would have pegged you as Delta, Delta, Delta.
