Libby Strong, Chicago senior, and Carter House, Prairie Village, Kan., senior, met at a frat party during their freshman year at KU. House was a member of Sigma Nu, and the fraternity was having a big party with a live band. One of his friends was dating a friend of Strong’s, and all four of them began chatting at the party. “She would actually laugh at my jokes,” House says.
The conversation soon led to dancing and an exchange of phone numbers.
Two days later was Valentine’s Day, so House called Strong to ask her on a date with the couple that had arranged their talk-dance-phone number exchange at the party. All four went to the restaurant Mad Greek for their Valentine’s Day double-date.
Strong and House kept in contact after that night and gradually built a relationship. The couple has been together for three years.
