Also, is it reasonable to claim founding member status if you were there the

it? I need to know for resume purposes. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Katie,<br>
It's true, Doug and Eric can definitely claim "Founder" status.<br>
However, just to set the record straight (yet again), I'd like to<br>
point out that Doug and Eric were inspired to start the ECE PhiBar<br>
after having attended the Physics PhiBar Phriday. They saw how<br>
awesome the physics people were and just wanted to imitate. On the<br>
other hand, they might have just been so fed up with our geeky<br>
conversations about physics that they wanted to start their own event.<br>
<br>
The World may never know.<br>
