On October 14, 2000 the Caltech Alumni Association was briefly transformed into Gamma Theta, sorority house. No, Ditch Day didn't come early this year - it was Hollywood at work.

Crews filming the upcoming MGM release entitled Legally Blonde transformed three S. Hill Avenue buildings into fictional sorority houses for a southern California university. In addition to the Alumni Association's headquarters, neighboring buildings housing the Einstein Papers Project and the Industrial Relations Center were magically - if only fleetingly - welcomed into the Greek system.

By late afternoon, filming was done and the Caltech campus returned to (relative) normalcy. But for one brief, shining moment sororities came to Caltech.
