Charleston, SC, March 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A graduate of Wake Forest University, Larry “Choo” Chewning reflects on his college experience in a new collection of short stories. Reminiscing on his glory days in the Kappa Alpha Order fraternity in the 1970s, he recalls college life before the digital age. Likening his experience to the 1978 film Animal House starring John Belushi, Chewning emphasizes the invaluable bond among his fraternity brothers. “The strength of our bond as fraternity brothers was the key to our survival,” Chewning says. 

In “Questionable Behavior,” Chewning illustrates the delicate balance between an undergraduate’s social life and academic success, highlighting how the friendship of his fraternity brothers helped him cope with the rigorous learning environment of Wake Forest. Through this nostalgic firsthand account, readers can relive the stress, hilarity, and uncertainty of college life. And while the advantages and disadvantages of Greek life continue to be debated, Chewning’s personal memories are only positive. From epic parties and college romance to pulling all-nighters, these stories will resonate with anyone who attended college in the South and belonged to a fraternity or sorority. “If you grew up in the South during the mid-twentieth century you can relate to this story,” Chewning says.
