Just a simple question... Whats your guys' nicknames for THeta Xi at your School? I've heard Zukes, The Zoo... any others?

I've heard at the University of Washington they're called "goat boys" by many of the girls, as well as "The Taxi"....

[ThetaxiUW]

Good one, and its sheep.

We call you guys the boys with the trampoline :) (due to the trampoline out front of their house!)

[ThetaxiUW]

Yeah, we heard that one as well. we're really trying to get past the Sheep F's. People dont realize that that was 12 years ago and that everyone in the house was kicked out and are not recognized by our fraternity. Their is a huge gap in our numbers from like Y857 to Y951. All those people were taken out of everything. Do you live in our annex?

[RxyChrldr]

Nope, don't live in the annex..only Sr's live there, and i'm a freshman! :)

Why would they call you sheep f's or goat boy? Do not tell me that one of those hazing rumors is true! :eek:

[ThetaxiUW]

This is how it used to work. It was a brotherhood excercise. Gather up all the associate members. Let them listen to a door with a sheep inside. They get scared. Bring them to a room and tell them one of you has to f the sheep. Give them a jar of peanut butter for lube and give them 5 minutes to decide. The result was either of two things. 1: They decide as a group to not do it. This was the wanted outcome. 2: One of them says he'll do it. Goes into the room to find brothers with champagne bottles and other rewards. The others were punished. The thing actually worked kinda like the book "Storm of the Century" by Steven King if you've read or seen that one. It really wasn't that bad. But now... after being shut down for hazing, we recharterd and are a no hazing, dry fraternity. Thats what that was about.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification.
