When the club closed my buddy and I discovered that the Metro had stopped running and we were stuck. It had also started snowing and cabs were few. We talked our way into crashing in an apartment of Georgetown University women. I got the couch. My buddy slept on the floor. The girl who okayed us to stay said she trusted Southern gentlemen from Mississippi. It was a milder time then.

Strange pledge task raises questions of religion

(04/06/00 4:00am)

Have you seen a pledge from Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity walking around campus with a wall clock around his neck? This has been an interesting spectacle to me the last two weeks. AEPi is predominantly a Jewish fraternity, and the picture on the face of the clock is of Jesus and his 12 apostles at the Last Supper celebrating the Passover. I am surprised that a deeply religious fraternity such as AEPi would seem to trivialize such an event as the Passover by having their pledges wear it around their necks.
