TOGA TIMES Issue I Volume 5 ========================= January 05, 2000 Hello again, my friends, and welcome to all of you newbies, For those of you receiving this e-newsletter for the first time, it is because either you signed up for it, or one of your friends thought you were cutting edge enough to receive it. As always, should you no longer wish to receive this classy piece of literature, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to start off, by wishing you all a Happy Healthy New Year, and hope you had a great Holiday season. Winter is here, and it�s cold this time of year! I am so excited to be spending my first winter as the spokesperson for, what I believe to be, the sharpest, funniest, and most dynamic web site to ever hit the college market. Of course, I am referring to http://www.GreekCentral.com ! Since the launch on September 7, 1999, there has been such a positive outpouring of feedback and traffic, it just brings a smile to the faces of the entire staff here. Even though, we are mere pledges in the eyes of our competitors and the masses, we feel that GreekCentral has (to borrow a phrase) boldly gone where no one has gone before. Do we tell the truth? You bet we do! Do we pull punches? The answer is yes, but only to those deserving of our compassion. But just shoot one pledge in the privates, and beware the wrath of GreekCentral.com. =============================================================================== Advertisement Want a chance to win cash and prizes while you do other things, like work or surf the web.
