Claudette Ramey Cody, Journalism. I was in the class of '54. My mother graduated from Linfield the class of '22. Then we were here class of '54. My son was here class of '74 and now my grandson is here and he'll be, so about the class of 2009 I guess. So its four generations ah that have come here. And we were counting up all of the people in our family that have come to Linfield on both sides of our family and we're up to number 13. And I just remembered one today by looking at a yearbook I'd forgotten that that Daryl's brother had also gone to Linfield that year so 13 of us have attended Linfield. So we think that this is a good place to go to school. But anyway, that's that's the one thing that I'm, I'm really the happiest and the most proud. There's a lot of us, lot of the family that thinks Linfield is pretty special, had good education and to have it come down to fourth generation is kinda neat.

Recording 2 (Greek at Linfield):
Claudette Ramey Cody, Journalism. I was in the class of '54. At that time there were no national sororities. There were national fraternities, but there were no national sororities. I was a Kappa. Our pledge class decided that, um, they were going to skip the initiation time that they told us, gave us all this horrible thing. We knew that we, first we had to memorize the Greek alphabet, and just, ya know, stuff that we all felt was too below us and childish and why would they ask us to do that? So we thought, okay the whole class would skip to Portland. We'd go in and have pizza and go to a movie and then take the last bus back to Mac. And none of us had cars, so with a big group, and my sorority class, I think we had 20-25 pledges so it was a big group, uh at the time but we sneaked into Portland little by little we all left campus. And then when we got back ha ha ha was not fun. Our pledge masters and so forth met us the next morning and told us that they were not going to speak to us for at least a week, maybe longer. And they didn't know what the consequences were going to be. So, about a week later they met us as we were coming out of class, in Melrose and made us duck waddle over to the basement of the Delta house and uh, the guys all left the house and we went down in the basement. They heated that house with sawdust furnace and they went down and they put paint, painted us and they made us put on our, I think our swimming suits or something. I don't know how they got them whether they went into our room and got our shorts or something. Anyway, we didn't have a whole lot of clothes on. That was a good thing the boys left. But they painted us, including our hair everything, head to toe. And then took us into the sawdust bin and poured sawdust all over us, so sawdust stuck to us. So what a what a deal that was. Well then the next problem of course came was how are we going to get this paint off. So when we got back we called the fraternities. And the one where my husband was in brought us all a big big huge thing of turpentine and so we cleaned our bodies off with the turpentine. Ha ha ha, oh it was, that was icky but that's a memory of don't skip your sorority. Ha ha
