Talk:Pomona College

fraternities

It is my understanding that Pomona has multiple co-ed fraternities. NAP and KOE were the recognized ones when I graduated, and there were a few co-ed frats that were "hovering" near official recognition. I am not currently a student however, so I am curious as to what is the case now.

I think the four main fraternities on campus are Kappa Delta, Sig Tau, Phi Delta and Nu Alpha Phi (the last of which is co-ed).

I learned from my "alumni volunteer" info that there are in fact 4 recognized frats and one sorority. # of them are co-ed.

Jim Taylor

Jim Taylor, a former football player with the Green Bay Packers, is incorrectly listed as a Pomona alumnus. I'm sure that the person who was meant to be listed was Jim Taylor (Class of 1984), the screenwriter of the movie "Sideways".

Remember, this is a wiki, so you can be bold if you spot a mistake. I've fixed the link to Jim Taylor (writer), which was confirmed by this Pomona magazine article. — Laura Scudder | Talk 21:58, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

order

anyone else think that the long lists should go after the text info about the college??? I do. Any objections? If not, i'll do it beofre too long. (or maybe after) Reggaedelgado 08:04, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please do. Once I see lists I begin to assume that I've hit the end of the text. -Willmcw 08:38, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

zeta psi/frats

Not sure that such specific zeta psi info is needed, without specifics about the other frats. That would end up making this an article about the frats at pomona, and anybody who knows the school knows that would be inappropriate. Reggaedelgado 08:04, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That deserves a Chirp of agreement. We're already in danger of having the word count about frats imply a different role in campus life than exists. Coll7 20:55, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Snack

I saw someone edited the entry about snack out. I think this is an important part of Pomona's campus life, and I was just wondering what the rationale was for taking it out. bjackrian 19:09, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

KSPC

I'd like to add an internal link to the new KSPC wikipedia article and an external link to the website, but the article is protected. Who can I ask to add this the site? RODQL08

Gossip site

To whoever is adding the gossip site, please don't. Our guideline on such links is at WP:EL. -Will Beback 04:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rumors

I'm going to remove the sentence about the Borg being based on Oldenberg Hall - I heard the same rumor at Caltech. Sarah Thomson 04:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Distance from Los Angeles

I used Microsoft MapPoint to confirm that Pomona College is either 30.5 miles (direct) or 33 miles (by road) from Los Angeles City Hall. The listed value was 47 miles, which is untrue and an likely another attempt to include this number in the article.

Perhaps if you measured the direct distance more precisely it'd turn out to be 30.47 miles. -Will Beback 21:52, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
