  1. I was in a frat back in the stone age. All I can say it really depends on the membership of the chapter and the chapter itself. Phi Sig was very inclusive and accepting of their gay brothers. Lamda Chi was the complete oppisite, even after their president was caught in bed with a pledge.

    How come there are lots of gay-friendly national fraternities for men, but none of the national sororities/fraternities for women are listed as gay-friendly? My dad's fraternity is included on the list, but not my mom's.

  2. Does anyone have photos of two hot blondes from the 1980's that were Falcon stars back in the day? I'm thinking of Jim Bentley and Kurt Marshall--among other hotties from Falcon's golden era.

    I used to see Jim delivering produce from his family's farm to the local former's market. Not too long ago he was staying with my brother.

  3. Yes - but that seems to be a universal thing, not just in English. The languages I know all have greetings that are similar to that. And I think it's always understood that it's colloquial for "hi" - that a literal answer to "how are you" is not really the point.

     

    Didn't you read Miss Manners? The correct answer to How are you? is I'm fine, thank-you, or Fine, thank- you. Nothing else will do.

  5. It would be an over correction, but don't pronounce the t in any case.

     

    In fact, as a rule of thumb don't pronounce the last letter of any word in French, you'll be far more likely to get it right than if you pronounce it.

    I wish I knew the correct way to pronounce my mother's maiden name. She pronounces "Hincelot" as Hince - low. Maybe the French pronounce it differently.
