Being in a fraternity at Transylvania University was a great experience. I would even say it was essential to get everything out of the college experience. Currently I work for the National Headquarter of Delta Sigma Phi. This allows me to occasionally come by some interesting information. Most of this information isn’t stuff I can post online. However, this morning I came across a copy of Baird’s Manual of American College Fraternities. I promptly scanned (poorly) and uploaded one of my favorite entries. It turns out Greek Life at Transylvania dates back to before the Civil War.

He donated a large sum of money to get a scholarship fund started for the chapter to help us keep our grades as high as possible. Being a technologically savvy person, he is on Twitter. Recently he sent out a tweet asking who wanted to be followers number 599 and 600. I will admit that I am jealous he has so many followers, but if there are any Delta Sigs out there who want to know what he is up to, subscribe to his tweets here. I’m guessing he will break the 600 mark fairly quickly.

Court TV has a show called Masterminds. The show re-creates crimes and explains what happened with different cases. We have known for some time that there was an episode concerning the infamous Transy Book Heist. Unfortunately we were never able to watch it because the cable service on campus didn’t have the channel. (conspiracy? possibly…)

Long story short, watch this before it gets pulled down.

Update: The videos are now back online, they were previously taken down.
