THE MYTH: The 'Old Row Shirt' is composed of the original old row fraternities. THE FACTS: False. This shirt is meaningless and has only those that paid to be on it, though a few of them are accurate. Auburn's real original Old Row was composed of 7 fraternities on S. College St: Sigma Nu, AGR, Phi Delt, KA, Theta Chi, Delta Sig, and Pi Kapp. THE MYTH: SAE initiates their pledges after 72 hours of being pinned. THE FACTS: True & False. This is the SAE national bylaw regarding pledgeship, however, Auburn's chapter and many others don't actually follow this rule and host normal pledgeships. THE MYTH: Theta Chi can't afford to stay in their house and ATO plans on buying it. THE FACTS: False. Theta Chi is one of the wealthiest fraternities on campus. Having the third highest dues with a large brotherhood along with wealthy alumni helps them generate over $800,000/year in income. ATO hopes to begin building a house of their own next to KA on new row within the next 5 years. THE MYTH: Sigma Chi is returning in 2017. THE FACTS: True. Sigma Chi nationals plans to restart Sigma Chi as a colony in 2017 once every member of the previous brotherhood has graduated and will be reclaiming their house on old row. THE MYTH: KA has never had a held bid that pledged elsewhere. THE FACTS: False. Every fraternity has held bids pledge elsewhere each year, including KA. Despite their yearly claims to a "perfect rush", you can find many KA held bids that are now brothers in other fraternities.
