Memorable stories from my  times at Theta Iota: At Potsdam, I was really into Phi Mu.  During my time there, we worked on pledge classes, had several social events with other groups on campus, did many performances - including one at the Rusty Nail (or somewhere downtown...), performed a musical written by brother Mark Slater and sang all over the place.  The "new" music buildings were just occupied when I started in 1974 and we did some singing on the plaza (area between the buildings - taking advantage of the echo).  We "revamped" the pledge program and presented it at a conference in Philadelphia.  I had a great time!
