Camping penalties as enforced by most of the sorority houses are quite a joke. Two of the Pi Phi pledges who were camped a while back called the Phil Delt house telling two of the boys there that an escape could be effected if the lads in question would be on hand. Receiving an answer in the room, the five the evening was with, and the girls aided through the windows of the Pi Phi house on their return. Our sparrow said that he didn't know who the girls were but that they couldn't have been Coats and Siewart as it wasn't a bay window.
