Need help finding old friends
April 4, 2008 11:34 AM
I need help finding some old friends - lots of details given.
Ok I know this is a longshot, but maybe, just maybe someone will have some advice or actually know one of the people I am talking about. Here are the details:
Group of friends from college - we went to Indiana University Bloomington. Dates attended for them are either 98-02 or 99-03. I am almost certain it was 98-02. The group consisted of originally like 13 girls who all lived in the same dorm as I did (Wright), but some of them grew apart. They nicknamed themselves the Sigma Lambda Upsilon Tau girls (SLUTS). They all had different nicknames - Bandanna, Jersey, and Martha are the 3 I can remember. Bandanna and Jersey's first name is Jen or Jennifer, Martha's first name is Jill. There was also a Nicole if I am not mistaken and a Kim and I cannot for the life of me think of the others. I remember that Jill and Jersey Jen were both in the Chicagoland area in 2004. Jill is from there, and I think Jen was going to law school. Jill either works or worked for a wine company. It is these 2 people whom I am trying to get in touch with and I cannot for the life of me remember their last name and thus it is making my search very difficult. Any advice on where to search would be great. My googlefu has left me with too many results to find on sites such as myspace and linkedin

If your school has any kind of alumni network, you could check that. They probably won't give out contact info for random alumni, but you might be able to find some relevant details if any of these people have registered to provide mentoring or networking services to students, or they provided some kind of update like "Jill Jones ('02) married Tim Smith ('01) in July" for the social section of your alumni newsletter. Did your school have any kind of yearbook or freshman facebook (like, a printed book of people's pictures; not the website) that you could look through for last names?

I graduated from IU last year! Good times.
As for the alumni network, I would definitely give that a go - here is a link to the alumni directory. I'm not sure if they clean out their records after alumni membership ends, but it's definitely worth a shot.
Good luck!

Wow this is really bizarre. While cleaning out my office I found a very old cell phone of mine (4 phones ago) that I remember had one of their phone numbers on it. Sure enough it powers on (after 3 years of being off) and I am able to get the phone number and was able to reach one of them. Thanks for the advice from everyone so far.

That's fine, but how is Jen going to feel when she finds out you told the whole internet she used to go by "Bandanna the Slut"?
