The traditions of Theta Sigma Tau
Story Time

Traditions have to have a beginning somewhere and at Live-In in the spring of 2003 there was the start of a new one: Story Time.

It had been a tradition since at least the early 80s to tell the newly activated members secret stories of the House. It was fun, it sort of indoctrinated the new actives, and it recalled the House's past. But there are so many stories that don't get told!

The members thought that it would be a fun and group bonding (not bondage, you pervs) experience if the alumni that attended Live-In related some tales of their exploits while at Tau. And that's what they did: telling stories, answering questions, bouncing memories off of each other. Some stories were sent in from alumni who could not attend. Bruce Davis (82) sent in an interesting retelling of the reasons why the House went co-ed in 1980.

Most attendees seemed to enjoy it - pledges, alumni, and actives alike. The first year it was held the night after Tau Trivia, but was afterward often held the night before... in the hopes that maybe the pledges could manage to learn a few answers before they got put in the hot seat.
