In this part of the country, "sororicide" occurs when the Theta president finds out that a Theta pledge has been makin' out with the Prez's SAE boyfriend. And, BTW, "fratricide" is the result of a most unCivil War when the KAs play the SigAlphs in the intramural basketball finals. Top #31470 - 06/07/01 10:01 PM Re: How many cides to a tragic story? Bingley Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/09/00 Posts: 3065 Loc: Jakarta While we're (sort of) on the subject, how do members of the panel pronounce the name of the country?
