What's this?

Me too, in fact our house was on probation when I joined (but not

"double secret probation") and booted from grounds, kicked out of the IFC, and de-chartered by national, after my second year. We then returned as a non-fraternal social club and got a permit as a student non-profit to show movies at Gilmer Hall, among which was a Devil in Miss Jones/Deep Throat double bill...

so yeah, I get it, but the culture at UVa was about 5-6 years behind the rest of the world in 1971 when I entered.
