I'm up late with my granddaughter, who has a cold.  My wife gave me a reprieve, so I'll give you one more, and I promise, the last.  In the 1960's, the Auburn ladies lived in dorms.  The sororities, Phi Mu, Tri Delt, etc,. all had their bases within the dorms(they hated it). When you went to pick up your date, you were required to  call her down to the desk(much like a hotel), where she would sign out.  When you returned, she would go back and sign back in.  If you had a blind date ( Helen Keller Hall was te best place to get a blind date), the same would apply.  There were curfews of like 10PM on school nites and 11PM on weekends. Yes, there was(is) a womans dorm named after Hellen Keller!  If it became rather late on Saturday night, and you didn't have a date, you could always call the dorm and the young lady that answered would be happy to make your acquaintance!   My dear lord, how things have changed!!  BTW, ask any of the other seasoned members of this site if this isn't accurate.  Gotta go, baby's crying!!

Pops, I was in a sorority in the mid 80's and at that time, boys were still not allowed up in the dorm rooms.  The same procedure was in place when I was there... boy comes and calls on phone at front desk for girl, girl signs out, and signs back in.  There was also a curfew, though I don't remember what time.  Maybe 11:00?  I don't recall Helen Keller being the blind date dorm!  I was in Graves (Dorm F) and our sorority chapter room was still in the basement in the 80's.  I don't know if they are still there or not.
