Actually, when I read this, I didn't take it quite to heart the
way Ian did but I was a little appalled. If the purpose of the
calendar is to promote "rush and the fraternity on the campus of
Auburn"....why the hell would you do a female swimsuit calendar?
I don't really know how _your_ chapter operates and I admit it must
be warm down there but I've never worn my swimsuit to a meeting,
project, or fellowship event.

  Frankly, I find the thought of some brothers in swimsuits quite
a turnoff. I don't suppose the Delta brothers were planning on
modeling for the calendar? No wonder you're asking for outside
pictures....... <mild slam>...............................

                     Oh, and Chip? Don't take this too personally...
for the most part...I like most of the guys in your chapter. The idea
itself though is in real poor taste....
