Def
Leppard stormed America in the early 1980s with their
supercharged -- yet yadio friendly -- brand of British Heavy
Metal. Although their first two studio albums (On Through The
Night and High N' Dry) did well, charting in both
countries, 1983's Pyromania served as their true
breakthrough release. Packed with such hits as Rock Of
Ages, Foolin' and Photograph, the album
reached Number 2 on the US charts, sold some 13 millions copies,
and turned the musicians into early MTV video idols. Although
subsequent albums would reach Number 1 and attain higher overall
sales, early Def Leppard fans will always consider
Pyromania to be the gold standard of "British Metal Lite"
(with Judas
Priest and Iron
Maiden serving up heavier portions).
In this case, however, I'm actually referring to my friends in
Pi Rho Tau. No, not the pretender Pirate
Sorrrority scalawags who have misappropriated the name and vow
to infiltrate and takeover legitimate sororities everywhere. I'm
talking about the real Pi Rho Tau, a legitimate coed social
fraternity charted by the SFA Office of Student
Affairs. These real Pi Rho Taus don't waste their time dressing
up like pirates and raiding rival parties. They're way too busy
with really cool stuff (like geocaching).
You'll be looking for a camouflaged
Rod Guard hidden in an unusual manner. In additon to a
customized FTF certificate, it's loaded with stuff the Pi Rho Taus
might find useful as they pursue their higher education. Have
fun!
