The desire for a fraternal life became more popu- lar, allowing two fraternities and one sorority to gain colony status in 1984- 85. On-campus students were also more active as hall councils received more cooperation to put on bigger and better functions. Alpha Hall started a new tradition with a male review for the ladies each semester and Beta Hall's olympics was a smashing success. Delta-lota halls also received recogni- tion by hosting the infamous Labor Day party. The parties continued with Eta- Zeta-Epsilon's council throwing the Hot Legs Busch Party held at Busch Gardens in December. Charities also 6 Opening reaped the benefits of dorm councils' new success as Beta Hall sponsored a Mothers Against Drunk Driving event in honor of a former resident killed by a drunk driver. Eta-Zeta-Epsilon enter- tained the children from the Florida Mental Health Institute by giving them a trick-or-treat party with a haunted house on Halloween, gifts and Santa Claus at Christmas and an Easter egg hunt and picnic. The Sun Dome also became a hot bed of activity, not only for basketball games but also for concerts, bringing top acts such as Eddie Murphy, Rod Stewart. Daryl Hall and John Oates.

If you can think of it , USF students more than likely are doing it. Above Right: Raising his fists in defiance, a fan breaks out from the roaring crowd.
