Starting point is 00:02:28 about sorority life with your host me gea judice daisy kent and jennifer fessler all right guys so here we are here we're back talking to there are four of us here talking about sororities different times different generations young old um i was in a sorority because like i think my mom is the grandma now we're middle and then lily is young you keep telling yourself i think you're wrong. I think your mom is the, whatever the Gigi, whatever your thing is, Lily, the Gigi. Right. We're the grandmas. So Jen, give us the next lingo, but I wanted to talk about something that Nikki brought up in our last episode, which was back in the day in the 90s, and we'll see what Lily thinks of this. You had a landline in your room. Some people did. How we communicated
Starting point is 00:03:23 was through these pay phones. And so at Kappa, we had these two phones. Now, in our era, it would just ring and you hoped someone would answer it. In my mom's era, Fledges were assigned time. That's hazing. Literally, that's hazing, right? No. So to answer. So I can remember the phone ringing, you know, this payphone, an old-timey, like payphone, you
Starting point is 00:03:48 would answer it and they would say, this is, you know, Bob, can I talk to Nikki? And then you'd get on the intercom and you would say, Nikki 04 or Nikki 02. And those were like house phones. You had to use a quarter or like your dad's calling card if you wanted to call out. Now you might have a phone in your room, but there would be no way to really know the number.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Although I have this vague memory of a Greek phone book. Nikki, do you have any memory of some sort of a phone book that had everyone's landlines? Like a Thomas guide? Or what do we call? Yellow pages?
Starting point is 00:04:23 Maybe. No, I mean, I just remember a big phone with lights. Like there were all different lines and lights would be blinking. Well, that's from the movie Love Story back in the day. You're in the 50s on that one. That's fancy, Jen.
Starting point is 00:04:33 We had a pay phone, like an actual hanging on the wall pay phone. Two, with a booth that you would go into. Correct. And then there was a booth. Yeah. So if you, and if you were upstairs and you would say, Nikki, 04, you'd have to wait for Nikki to pick it up downstairs, then you would hang up and then she could like shut the payphone door downstairs and have her.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Did we use corners? And there were actually, yeah. Or did we have credit cards or collect calls like we're in jail? All of it. We had all that stuff. I mean, exorbs, I remember that. What if someone was hogging it?
Starting point is 00:05:04 Like, Nikki's on the phone with her long-distance boyfriend. I had one freshman year. And she's hogging it. What do you guys do? We also had phones in our room. So you'd have a landline with an answering machine with a cassette tape in it. So you would have a landline and, like, you and your roommate, it would share the landline, and you would come in and you'd hit.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Oh, we got three messages and hit play. Oh, my God. your roommate, I had this overwhelming memory come back to me the other day. Your roommate would totally mess up the call. So I come back into the room and my roommate Karen said so-and-so called. And I said, okay, like it was really random. Like she basically said like Teddy called. So I call back this guy Teddy and it was this awkward weird conversation because really Eddie called. But she said Teddy, and it was so, and I still, to this day, 30 years later, I'm like, I called Teddy. Lily, we didn't even have computers. We had brother word processors that were like huge
Starting point is 00:06:10 suitcases. Do you remember this, Amy? We would sit up. Yeah, I actually had a computer. I was kind of advanced. I had a very fancy because I had a computer that had discs and I would take the disc down to this thing on bankrupt and print out my papers, floppy disks. I can't even think about what that looks like. I can't even... Have you ever heard of a typewriter, Lily? Yes, yes. But you guys didn't use typewriters.
Starting point is 00:06:38 We did. Some people sure did. They sure did. Jen, you used it for what? Mine was almost a typewriter. I mean, so I mean, it was close there in terms of like computers starting to use computers for papers. But like I'm talking about like I would have a big paper, even in college if I was, I would take it. I would write it out, take it to my mother.
Starting point is 00:06:59 She was a secretary. She would type out the paper for me. So I could turn it in. Yeah, totally. No, there was only a few of us that had computers. So I had this Apple 2E and it would be this big monitor and then there was a computer. And then you would put the disc in, save your stuff onto this disc. And then some people maybe had a printer, but I had to take it down and get it printed.
Starting point is 00:07:21 And then I would turn my paper in. But I had the advantage because I could edit and make changes. whereas poor Nikki, the brother, only had like a small screen. So if you printed that... Remember whiteout? You have to, when you waited a shake and you were typing, you have to, like, white out it and then blow on it so you can go over it. I think about this all the time.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Like, what if you were running late or you had to cancel on something? How would you get a hold of someone? You just didn't. You just couldn't. I had a pager, a beeper, in high school. But I don't know, Amy, did we have one? But does it page? What's a pager? What does that do? Is that connected to your landline? Well, the other person had to have a beeper too. So if Amy didn't have a beeper and I had a beeper and I was beeping, she wouldn't get it. So I guess we were maybe never late or we just, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:11 The crazier thing is how we ever met up with the fraternity boys on a non-party night. So you would basically hope for the best. So you would go with your sorority sisters to Henry's or Kipps or. Raleys or some other Bears lair and you would just hope for the best. You would hope that the guy you kind of had a crush on or the couple guys would be there too. And you would just sort of hope.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Now maybe you would landline to landline. So you might call Mike at SAE and be like, hey, you guys going down the hill and then you would just hope for the best. But here's the, look, here's the reality of it is Greek life is multi-generational, despite the different lingo,
Starting point is 00:08:59 despite the different electronics we all had. I mean, the truth is it's an institution that has spanned many, many, many decades, right? Even though things have changed with the world. So going back to that kind of sisterhood concept or word that we used, but it's interesting that that almost doesn't translate on as deep of a level, right?
Starting point is 00:09:26 Like, was it clickier in later years, would you say? Like, how many people were in your pledge class? 60. 60? Yeah. I mean, we had 30 maybe. Yeah. I mean, I think it depends on school.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I think it's still very clicky. I think there's still. But there's friendships between sororities. Like my freshman year roommate, because of who your roommates are, freshman year who you meet freshman year i think the later rush at different schools it makes it so you have a lot of different friends in your sororities but totally there's still a clicky aspect but it's not uncommon it was almost a if you were only friends with girls in different sororities from
Starting point is 00:10:07 your own and those were your main best friends that was almost that's a red flag well no different than somebody who doesn't have friends from their past and they're only friends within the chapter that they're existing in right right that kind of but i think it's interesting to say, like, I have a lot of good friends that were Pi-Fi's, DGs, a couple tri-outs, maybe a kio. That's it. Why? Because the lower tier didn't speak to you, Teg? I'm just telling the truth. This is a truthful place. That still rings very true, because all the same sororities hang out with all the same fraternities. Right. All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie.
Starting point is 00:10:56 For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizens. Investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran.
Starting point is 00:11:30 My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn, or any of that other stuff that y'all said. They literally made me say that I took a match
Starting point is 00:11:47 and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I put it. Or guess on her.

Starting point is 00:12:32 In early 1988, federal agents raced to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York from Asia. We had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles. But what they find is not what they expected. Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. They go, is this your daughter? I said yes. They go, oh, you may not see her for like 25 years. Caught between a federal investigation and the violent gang who recruited them, the women must decide who they're willing to protect and who they dare to betray. Once I saw the gun, I tried to take his hand, and I saw the flash of light. Listen to the Chinatown Sting on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Listen to the Trave Nurse podcast from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Decoding Women's Health. I'm Dr. Elizabeth Pointer, chair of Women's Health and Gynecology
Starting point is 00:14:41 at the Atria Health Institute in New York City. On this show, I'll be talking to top researchers and top clinicians, asking them your burning questions. and bringing that information about women's health and midlife directly to you. A hundred percent of women go through menopause. It can be such a struggle for our quality of life, but even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it?
Starting point is 00:15:04 The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything. I never used to forget things. They're concerned that, one, they have dementia, and the other one is, do I have ADHD? There is unprecedented promise with regard to cannabis and cannabinoids to sleep better, to have less pain, to have better mood, and also to have better day-to-day life. Listen to Decoding Women's Health with Dr. Elizabeth Pointer on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you're listening now. I always say this. It's a very funny thing, Texas, at University of Texas, let me assure you that Jewish people are a minority.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Oh, big time. Big time. went to University of Texas, it felt like everybody in Texas was Jewish because that's exactly I, everybody I knew was either in DBT, Sammy, AE-Fi, or STT. And that's just how we rolled. And so every party ever. So, so, you know, I didn't feel, I feel like sometimes even growing up in Texas, I felt more Jewish there. I know it sounds weird, but because everyone, I knew I was always surrounded by Jewish people? I have a question on lingo, Lily, to ask you, as I was looking at Jen, wondering if she's married to her college boyfriend or not.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Hell no. Okay, just check in, because a lot of my friends are, Lily, did they, this is going to really age me, it's going to sound super old-fashioned. Did they ever have pinnings? I had a pinning with my college boyfriend. Are you still pinned? Are you still attached? No.
Starting point is 00:16:47 sadly oh no thanks for bringing that up Nikki thanks for bringing that up no no we're good we're good here's something that's interesting about Nikki's era at her school there was an extraordinary amount of couples her age that married each other that are still married that's amazing very very weird I know some like I could name 10 couples from Nikki's class and maybe the class below, class above,
Starting point is 00:17:22 that married each other and are still married and still, like, happy, in quotes. Do you guys have candle lighting? So we'd sit in a circle. And there'd be a lit candle and it was very sacred. And you were wearing all white.
Starting point is 00:17:36 You were all white. And you passed the candle around. And it was like it was an engagement. Somebody was now engaged to be engaged. Yeah. So the girl had been, I guess, pinned and she blew out the candle. the whole we're crazy.
Starting point is 00:17:48 It's just so funny, but Rachel, if I find out that you're engaged to be engaged, to be engaged, to be engaged, you're dead. How old is Rachel? She's 23. And she's in New York? She's New York, yeah. And I'm like, don't even think about it, sweetheart.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Because I think it's interesting to talk about boys in the sorority. So, Lily, we will, Nikki and I will tell you about boys in our sorority, and then you tell us what it's like now. We actually were allowed to have boys, which was kind of like, they're allowed to have boys. We're allowed to have boys for lunch. You could have boys upstairs till 10. No, you couldn't. Yeah, we could. No, we could not. We could. You would go up, they could go
Starting point is 00:18:27 upstairs till 10 p.m. at night and you would go on to the floor and you would say, man on. Man on. That's a big lingo thing. Man on. Wait, what is that? There is a boy in the hallway. So like, don't come out of your room in a towel or don't come out of the bathroom. You had to shout out, man on, which meant there's a man on the floor. I'm vaguely, I'm menopause. Hold on. I'm vaguely remembering this. And that at 10, no boys. And the other thing that was interesting was when a boy, okay, so we had a front door and
Starting point is 00:19:01 you'd ring the doorbell, and we called it a foyer. I know some people say foyer, but it was called a foyer. And the boy or your guest would come in. So say, I go to the front door, open the door, and a boy is there for Nikki. I would get on the intercom and say, Nikki, you have a caller on two. So that way she knew it was a boy. If it was her friend from Pfei,
Starting point is 00:19:24 I would say, Nikki, you have a guest on two. That way she knew she could run down looking like, you know, do do. And then take the girl back up or eat lunch or whatever. So that way there was an indicator on the intercom. You're right. If it was a, you know, a girl or a boy. And people would pop over.
Starting point is 00:19:44 there also was like all of a sudden a boy would just like ring the door and they'd be like you have a caller on too and you'd be like who is it and then it would be some friend or whatever could they sleep over no boys could not sleep over they had to leave that 10 I think our boys can move past the foyer foryer I think that there was a room right there like a living room that they can go into maybe into the dining room but I don't remember them so we had a living room a TV room and a date room it was called the date room I think we've talked about this on this show before now weirdly i don't remember anyone like really using the date room it was always empty we used to watch in my time beverly hills 902101 that was the tv room general hospital maldose place where was the where was it if you were in the tv room and you looked out those doors towards the mailboxes the date room was that fancy room right near the mailbox room oh yeah i remember that a date room And you can have a boy for lunch. I think you could have a boy for dinner, not on Mondays, no breakfast. If a boy strolled in breakfast.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I can't believe you have such a good memory. You really, you really do. I don't know if I'm acting, but I do the best I can. You were allowed to have boys for lunch and dinner. Breakfast, too, was like technically. Could you have boys in your bedrooms? Yes. Could they sleep over?
Starting point is 00:21:06 But yes, but this was all. No, they could sleep over or you snuck them over. over everyone else like all the and this was a real thing like at my school it was really everyone was pretty mad at us because we had a very young house mom who let a lot of things house move a lot of sister house yeah she she was 25 like right out of college and started being her house mom and she was really young like we why would she even want that job i think i mean like free rent money and living in LA and she was doing other things was she in your sorority went to Syracuse but she was like a friend I don't know we loved her our house mom was definitely
Starting point is 00:21:51 a grandma aunt somebody and Billy or something we had Marge everyone other other other house had that but we had the young house mom so we could kind of I don't know she didn't care we we had boys upstairs barely ever saw the house mom she would like hop out of that apartment once in a blue moon but she was definitely more like a grandma and she had this room it was like she had a little apartment within the sorority house yeah yeah she ate in her room i think too didn't she no she never came down for like meals she probably was like what am i doing with these crazy ours would hang out we would but like we would i mean we had a courtyard and we would people would like smoke pot in the courtyard oh no and like play beer pong but they can't use the word
Starting point is 00:22:31 rush right All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story.

Like, the whole house was in trouble in, not in a like,
Starting point is 00:27:43 you're busted, but like almost in an embarrassing way because people would take their lunch upstairs, eat their lunch, and put their dishes outside their door like we were at a hotel and just expect somebody to come pick up their, their plates and then also there would be like somebody would have 14 cups in their room they'd like take their cups upstairs we had at one hasher but back in the day what's a hasher the hasher was the guy that was doing the dishes and he worked at a fraternity right right yeah or he was like a guy making money on Mondays you had formal dinner so you would sit and I think he would clear your plate like a waiter like a server but back in the day there would be like 10 hashers and they my dad was a
Starting point is 00:28:26 hasher and my mom was in the sorority and that's how they met and got married they came from the law school and they would i think they had formal dinner like many nights a week so they were always like serving and clearing like you were at like a four five-star restaurants crazy really did you guys have um father-daughter dances and mother-daughter luncheons no what no you had oh here's another lingo we could not we no longer had mom's weekend which i think this is for the best because I had a friend who lost her mom. What if you have two dads? Right.
Starting point is 00:29:02 So you called it role model weekend and you could bring, you know, usually people would bring their moms or their dads. I like that. Do you don't have like a father-daughter dinner auction dance? My dad didn't come if he did. No, no one did that. What?
Starting point is 00:29:19 Your father would fly in just for this dance? Yes. We have pictures with like the printed pictures. pictures and and it was like a big fundraiser too there was like a big auction and they would like auction off items and then all the dads would like bid on them we don't have like Texas oh you weekend oh they're going this weekend Jen it's it's this weekend it's still a thing tomorrow they oh first overnight it's it's huge Texas oh use a big game this weekend this is so fun I never knew about the father-daughter thing well not only that we do moms uh mom there's parents
Starting point is 00:29:55 weekend and there's mom's weekend and there's dad's weekend and parents came to i cannot remember what it was called there was bid day prezance was it called presents they'd do that still before you get your bid at least in the south or texas gen literally the moms and the grand are waiting at the hotel for the call and they all are a part of that big midday. And we had this thing where it was bid day and then a few weeks later you would get dressed up in like more of like a sundressy type dress and there would be sort of like a tea and crumpets type of vibe in the courtyard. And I think moms came, but I think maybe dads came. I don't know. And they would like present the pledges. But definitely like moms were there. My mom wasn't. I don't remember her. This is a thing with us too. Like your mom and your mom and dad come and watch you, yeah, get presented for presents. Yeah. And it's like and it's after. initiation. You have to be initiated. So there's, it's, you know, like within the first two months. I think it's so different to school because I didn't do that for Rachel either. I don't remember
Starting point is 00:31:02 how I mean, I was there for her. There was a red dress charity and there was parents weekend, but there wasn't, I don't remember any of that. Was there any other lingo we haven't gotten to today? Oh, let's see. We talked about house mother just now. We did hometown pro and con. hometown con. Nice. We talked about PR risk, which we didn't have it back in the day, but. Oh, yeah. I can't tell. Like, is it good or bad to be, like, popular on social media? I think it depends on what you post on social media. But, Lily, I was told with my friends' daughters that were going through Rush that you have
Starting point is 00:31:38 to have a social media following. So I had many friends' daughters who had to, like, literally take days of changing outfits and posing and this and not to, like, build a social media, almost campaign. Yeah, because if you only have, like, five posts and they're kind of random. them. They're like, who is this girl? Where are her friends? And no love on your post? Yeah, yeah. But if you have, yeah, like if you have like a few thousand followers and, you know, people are like 20 to 50 or whatever, people are commenting on each post and liking them, then it's, yeah, I mean, that that bodes well for sure. If there's not a lot, there's not a lot to look at. Yeah. I see, I think it would be the opposite. Like, I would want the girl that has no social media. I'd be like, I want her. She seems cool. She's mysterious. Amy, you're going against your, I I feel like you're going against... I'm an anomaly. I'm an anomaly.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Well, when it comes to boys, she wants to make sure that they're cool. When it comes to girls, they should be mysterious. They really need to be top tier. There you go.

Starting point is 00:32:42 because let me tell you. My niece went through rush, and I didn't sleep for a week. And this is a thing. We will talk about this in a future episode, because it is universal that I think the moms these days are stressing more than the kid. Like I had a friend whose daughter just went through and she ended up in a top house.
Starting point is 00:32:58 It went great. Did she have a rush coach? No. We talked about that a few weeks ago. We talked about that and it's still sort of a debate, but no. She just did her thing. She got a top house. But the poor mom, who's like one of my best friends, was just sick all week.
Starting point is 00:33:13 It's just so stressful. And then finally on bid day, they just couldn't take it anymore. And they're just following the Find My Phone app to see where she's going because obviously she's too busy to call. And they're just like, her phone is at this sorority. And I go, yeah, you guys, she's in. Like, no one's taking her phone to the house without her. But that was the school where my friend's daughter did not get a house.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Yeah, I mean, we can shout it out. Cal Poly is a rough rush now. So is San Diego State. I mean, it's everywhere. Oh, San Diego State I heard is like one of the worst. It's so rough. Yeah, Cal Poly is super rough. Boulder, it happened to a friend of mine's daughter.
