What is the memory that makes you laugh hardest today?
“Howie, Honer T Honer, Izzy, Big Jim, Myron, Terry, David, the Falcon, and everyone I missed at one of the really big house Parties. And “Hell Week” of course, Howie and I still can remember: It is the lifeless, lowest, most insignificant…”.” – Philip Xanthopoulos, ’66
“Jolly John Rogers stealing the State College Santa Claus.” – George M. Middlemas, ’68
“Remembering Paul O’Brien sneaking a pony keg into Beaver Stadium between his legs under a long coat.” – Charles J. Fey, ’71
“Hampy taking a leak in the ashtray stand in the foyer while totally wasted because he thought he was in the first floor head.” – Carl Samuel Crouse Jr., ’73
“One of my favorites is the trip to National when Pebs peed out of the bus window. It was a hot day, and all of the bus windows were open. Scott Anthony was in the seat behind Pebs, and the pee blew right back in onto Scott. Later on we took over Poe’s Bar. We were running around ON THE BARTOP singing the BeeBee song. Still later, our bus mysteriously rolled down the driveway in the middle of the night and crashed through a stone wall hanging halfway over. It took two large wreckers to pull it back onto the yard. Our picture made the Caduceus with the headline of something to the effect that “Alpha Delta Invades National.””- Lawrence F. Carretta, ’77
“The memory that I will never forget is the night where Colby absolutely beat Tom Tatem all over the chapter house. He wrestled Tom in the living room, threw trash on him and dragged his butt all over the place. Tom was covered in trash and all kinds of assorted mung. Hysterical.” – Michael L. Reinert, ’97
“Penn State Dad” t-shirt. -Tyler Orwig, ’99
Describe the best party
“The luaus during spring week. Every spring for the last 33 years I have thought about making the “jungle juice” and drinking it out of fresh coconut shells. Of course the girls were a huge part of it. Little grass skirts and skimpy tops.” – Carl Samuel Crouse Jr., ’73
Strawberry Jam, Fall 1995. Biggest, best party I’ve seen in our house. Was a big reason I pledged the house. -Tyler Orwig, ’99
