Pig Roast at Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity
The annual pig roast last night filled the chapter house dining hall for 125 guests. Tables held roses and chrysanthemums in purple and white, with purple nut cups and silver candleabras. A roasted pig was carved at individual tables as a five course dinner proceeded, and traditions included kissing the pig’s head and presenting the tail to the youngest guest, Miss Virginia Carter. Music by a college ensemble accompanied dancing and socializing, with chaperons and numerous alumni in attendance.
