And NO GREEK LIFE (meaning no frats and sororities)!

Actually, they had off-campus fraternities (and one co-ed fraternity). Which pretty much means much the same.

Fitz rushed DKE, now Plimpton and lived in-house sophomore year as was the custom.

Fitz has the distinction of having been a member of two fraternities. He also joined Theta Delta.

The fraternities took up the question of co-ed membership in Fitzy’s sophomore year. DKE led the way. DKE house was the first Amherst frat to become co-ed. There were no sororities at Amherst – it was a men’s college until 1975.

Tomorrow I’m off to Alumni Gymnasium. The Jeffs are hosting Rhode Island College in the sectional finals of the Men’s NCAA D3 basketball tournament 7PM EST. Watch it HERE.

The hallways of the gymnasium, are adorned with varsity sport team photos from the most recent years to back before the turn of the century… no, not the 20th century, the 19th! I’ll be looking for women ruggers circa 1990.

(Cheer) J – E – F – F Jeff Jeff Jeff!

And to think, if Marcy hadn’t had the conversation with Pat and then decided to write a post about it, we still wouldn’t know she was an Amherst student after three years of her posts about special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald. Discreet that one, eh?

(Cheer) M – A – R – C – Y Marcy Marcy Marcy!

Did you tell us where he played after amherst? Did he play on any of the club sides in the chicago area? I might actually have photos of him if he played in CARFU between 1984-1988?

Out in the nether world of Wonderers, we wonder if Cheney’s violent reaction to Joe Wilson was first because of the closeness to exposing the perps of the forgeries, but there is the nagging wonder about the possibility of yellow`cake being smuggled into Iraq so They could say, “Look what we found!”

So if you are still checking way back down here amongst the rugby crazies……..

Good Morning. He does not need outing as to his affiliation, but he most certainly does as to truly horrendous Neocon Fascist nastiness, and that is the deiverer of B. Netanyahu’s success in Israel, ring-leading the demonizing of the word ‘liberal’, general insider and V hush-hush Cheney/Bush et al advisor, Arthur Finkelstein. Does anyone know why A Finkelstein is spending so much time trotting back and forth to Albania purportedly on Administration or perhaps Rep Party biz?

Wow, I had no idea there was a Finkelsteinologist in the house besides me. That guy is the Rosetta Stone of modern fascism.

If he is spending time in Albania its because that is a route through which to easily contact The Friend Who Shall Remain Nameless That Everyone Knows who was so helpful there in 97-00. A lot of his folks were very active there with the Kosovars during the Clinton years, and Finkelstein spent time there in those years. Guaranteed something big is afoot for this year if he’s back in that part of the world. Better duck!

That sounds interesting, but I don’t completely follow. Would it be possibe to elaborate?

Thanks!

I don’t know what you’re talking aBout.

Marcy, didn’t you mention my offer to have Fitz’s baby?

Sorry, I screwed it up a little. I said, “litigatormom wants to get your goat.” I was close, though.

Sports is bullshit. It takes up time that would otherwise be spent doing something. And, in this case, although masquerading as human interest, just takes up blog space. Go find a sports blog, where lots of people spend lots of time living vicariously through others, eh?

Somewhat ironic on this blog where we have all been at the trial, vicariously, no?

I’d say she made the right decision to keep it topical, maybe it will open future doors for more journalism history.

And, concerning the word “journalist,” blog or not, it IS journalism, in its latest manifestation, and the FDL Bloggers are some of the best at it.

Gareth! JPR!
