Viking 1965

grceks Compared to years when Hellenic adversities punctured the academic world with fulminating dialogues, this was a peaceful, productive year for Portland State's Greeks. Any uproar was from the traditionally weird and wonderful dances which highlighted the year. The Greek dancing season started with Tau Kappa Epsilon's Mardi, Gras-the New Orleans of Bourbon street, wrought iron balconies, and Spanish moss made hot by agitating raucous music and agitating, raucous students. An open break between the Portland State administration and three national sororities in 1964 cost the Greek women their PSC recognition. But, off-campuS, Portland State's former sororities threw the wackiest ball of the year, the Pajama dance. La rr,ue gauclte with its odd, frantic ways came to Portland State during Spring term, imported by Kappa Sigma for t};.e Parts Apache dance. Beards, exposed garters, and gay abandonment in Parisian sewers set the theme for the sensationally successful dance.
