I 143 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 4: don't know. 144 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 3: I mean I feel like maybe in my four years 145 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: as a member, I mean, I'm trying to think it's definitely. 146 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 3: I can count on one hand how many pinnings there were, 147 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: so it wasn't a super comptanting. 148 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 2: Okay, that's kind of cool. Makes it like special definitely. 149 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: And then when you were at the sorority house and 150 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 2: like your friends got pinned that or when you experienced 151 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: one that was at the sorority house, was everyone like 152 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: dressed this a specific way or like have to wear 153 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: like a certain color where they're like candles and stuff. 154 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 2: I'm like visioning, Yeah, no, I know. 155 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: In our house was we we're fortunate, we have such 156 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 3: a beautiful home and it's big, and so we our 157 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 3: pennings usually were held on Monday night because that's when 158 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 3: we had to be dressed in I mean kind of 159 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: nicer clothes, not you know, nothing fancily. And again we're Berkeley, 160 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: so we're not that probably proper. 161 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 4: But if rumor had got gotten out. 162 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 3: That there was maybe a pinning or something, people might 163 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 3: look a little bit nicer.
