In honor of the month of April, does anyone still have a copy of the fake Daily D from April 1, 1982, (done by the Jack O’Lantern)? It was the issue distributed across Campus that announced that the College had decided to close the fraternities. Let us know!
Our goal with these monthly emails is to help keep us connected to each other, our class and the college. As we continue to fine tune our format, we welcome your input. Please let us know what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d like to see included.
