"No Daisy’s will grow in our garden!!!!!!" Februray 5, 2002, Tiffany Stubbmann, F 00
"One of my many fine memories is dancing on the butcher block at the Inn Between. One particular night Lori Everett and I were shaking our booties like it was nobody’s business. Right in the midst of Louie Louie I got slammed in the chest (Phi Lamb shirt and all) with the reddest drink I’ve ever seen! Someone out there sure had good aim. So, of course, I jumped down and chased that little B____ out the front door only to be stopped by one of those monstrous bouncers before I could get a good swing in. Oh well, just another night out at the IB... I have such great memories of the many times we all controlled that dance floor as well as the butcher block. Guns and Roses, Whitesnake, Whitney Houston...it was all good. Air (leg) guitar, anyone?" April 4, 2000, Maureen Mulcahy, S 87
"Our pledge class made all the arrangements in obtaining the Phi Lamb House from Gary Least. We spent all one summer driving all over picking up furniture, going to auctions to furnish it. We had a great time and took great pride in finally getting a house!" October 1999, Anne (Seeley) Bowman, S 70
"I will never forget Tammy's "Ode to Roy." We hung it in the bathroom right in front of the toilet. If anyone still has the words, I would love to read it again." June 17, 1999, Cynthia (Anderson) Gillespie, S 87.
"Not the best of memories, but one I would like to share. I watched the Phi Lamb house burn down in the Summer of 1992. I believe I was one of only 4 Lambs who were there. It was devastating to watch, like a piece of my life being erased before my very eyes. I remember that Bob Atkinson (Phig) was the first to discover the fire on his way back to an Arethusa afterhours that evening (poor Bob was later apprehended by the police as a possible arson suspect!). I was subletting a room from Jeannie Rosati (about 3 houses down from the Lamb house) that summer and was awoken by my roommates banging on the door telling me that the Phi Lamb house was on fire. As soon as I stepped into the living room, I could smell it. It was late and a Saturday night. The Geneseo volunteer fire department were stumbling around in there like a bunch of buffoons. I watched one almost set himself on fire. The next day I went to see the damage. I saw all sorts of burned debris in the back yard, including my pink beanbag chair that was melted and fused to the ground. I looked down on the ground and saw a piece of hope. It was a picture of Denise Klein and Beth Dutton. The picture was fine with a perfectly burnt frame around them. As I looked at this picture of my "burnt" friends (ha-ha), I picked it up, saved it, and knew we would be fine." Bianca Tocci, S 89.
"We moved into 24 Wadsworth Street in Fall 1971. We would have parities every Friday night, just the sisters and a few friends, we would drink wine and sing along to 'oldies' and just enjoy the time together in the house. In the Fall of 1971, we took the first fall pledge class. This was started because one of the sororities was down in membership to the point that it took every effort of all the Greek organizations to help them through it." Laurel (Klementowski) Burger, S 71.
"I remember having to carry a small bear
called Checkers while I pledged. Debbie Preznyna (Pretzel) was
our pledge mistress and we kidnapped her on pledge night and
brought her to Rochester." >Beth
(Ireland) Liberatore, S 71.
(PS Checkers is still carried by pledges today! Although now he's
called "Checkers in a body bag" because he's so old
they had to put him in a ziplock bag to keep him from
disintegrating.--CBH)
"I was the best Phyllis Phi Lamb ever! Too many juicy stories to put into print!" Linda (Flesch) Marshall, S 71
"I will always remember the time I spent at 24 Wadsworth as the most fun and wild years of my life. It was wonderful and I am thankful for it and the many friendships formed that still exist today!" Ellen (Clarey) Kern, S 87.
"We were the very first pledge class ever! It was a great sorority, tons of fun, very out going girls." Linda Monteverdi-Kuehn, F 64.
"I had a complete laugh when I looked at the pictures of the current sisters and saw that one was Phyllis Phi Lamb. I had totally forgotten about that, and am amazed that that particular title survived all these years." >Marcia (Goldstein) Ratcliff, F 67.
"Recently many Lambs met in Hot Springs, NC to celebrate Kim Dunn's bachelorette party. I could send some crazy pictures but I don't dare open that Pandora's Box. After you leave the bubble of Geneseo, whenever 3 or more Phi Lambs assemble (with OR without party favors) you MUST travel at least 4 hours away from your home so that neighbors, coworkers, students, family members, etc., do not witness the buffoonery!" Kristen Roberts, S 90.
"Up until me, my family was the last straight line family from charter member down as I recall. I still have my blazer and original pledge book with songs, etc." Linda (Schrader) Mros, S 69.
"I rented a room in 24 Wadsworth before it became the Phi Lamb house--that would have been in 1966-67. It was owned by the Baldwin family, and they rented out several of the upstairs rooms. I lived in the upper left hand corner front room. Very cozy, very nice." Kathy (Shepard) Arthur, S 66.
