      Sanders and Smith come together once again, this time to investigate the myths behind the Greek Fraternity system and the mysteries surrounding these sacred fraternal organizations. Using sound, text and of course Greek letters, the collaborators will transform testsite into a new chapter of the national order of the Pan Hellenic Society. Fuji, Sammies and all the Sigma Chi brothers will surely take note of the new house near to the UT campus.

      Special thanks to Davis Gallery and the Medallion Quartet, members of A Cappella Texas and Intro and Advanced Performance Art at the University of Texas.
