The Alpha Kappa Pi minutes in 1967 indicate the house costs $56,000.

Long before I came around in '88 we procured a 1958 FireTruck which we parked on a parking pad in the North lot. As legend has it 3 brothers bought it for like $500 and drove it from Illinois. Trouble was, it was a tempermental bitch and would only run sporadically. That was until Brother Senterfitt came around. Dave found a supplier of old truck parts via mail order (no internet then)and "____Rigged" the engine and lo and behold it ran!! In fact before Dave had graduated every mechanism on that truck worked from the siren to the water pump to the windshield wipers!! My pledge class project was painting the mother! Right where it sat. We draped a tarp all around it and sanded that thing by hand...around every instrument and switch then wet sanded it. Ya' know for a bunch of dumb ass college students it came out pretty glossy. We drove the FireTruck to Greek week events. My fondest memories are sitting atop the Truck singing at the top of our drunken lungs "We Are The Champions" till we were hoarse to the pathetic brothers of "Slamda Guy" and "Delta Schmegma Phi". Here's to Brother Senterfitt, where ever you are!

From brother David Bliss:
Are you sure about the appliances being the same for the last 30 years? I believe it was spring of 1985 around 7:00 in the morning... the kitchen blew up! The gas from the stove leaked into the wall and something ignited it. The stove was thrown across the room. The knives from the rack above the stove looked like they were thrown sticking point first into the sheet rock. We were lucky nobody got hurt.

The reason I remember the time is we were supposed to leave at that time to go to River Country as the FIT Christian Youth Group, but everyone partied too hard the night before and overslept. Of course, River Country is another story.
