Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Delta Sigs at NIU Played Four Albums at Parties in Early 70s

Listening to Lin Braehmer on Chicago's WXRT and he relates going to a fraternity party back in the 70s where they played all four sides of the Rolling Stones' new Exile on Main Street album.  He said it was one hell-of-a-party.

Well, the Delta Sigs (Delta Sigma Phi) at Northern Illinois University in Dekalb had four albums we played at every party.  They'd be stacked and as soon as the sides played, they would be flipped over and the other sides played.  And, these were some great party songs.

The albums:

Temptations Greatest Hits
Four Tops Greatest Hits
Sly and the Family Stone Greatest Hits
Green River by CCR

We loved our soul and Motown.  CCR was on especially because of the song "Lodi" which served as the base of our fraternity song.
