...Eta??s reputation for being more open and diverse than the final clubs served it well for many years. The Crimson, which frequently ran stories predicting the demise of the club system, included a mention of Pi Eta in its 1971 registration issue. “The Pi has a lot of jocks, spaghetti dinners, and all the beer you can drink, which makes it a better deal for your money than any of the ‘final’ clubs,” The Crimson advised...

It refused to recognize that final clubs differ...
