I've noticed some chapters go back and forth between swahili names and non-swahili names and some do just non-swahili names.

I just wanted to know sorors feedback on the issue and if their non-swahili line names
have any significant meaning.

For instance I was surfing an AKA site and their line name was the Six Scents and they had names like Chanel #5 and Tommy Girl etc.

Sorors feel free to e-mail if it will give too many details.

I also heard that other BGLO sorority's let the girls pick their own names. This was from a non-greek. I have never heard of that? Is that true?

Hey ChAkAlate,
the tradition in my chapter was to formulate line names for everybody on the line by coming up with something which suited the individual's personality or something which stood out about that individual. The names were only choosen by your big sister. I know at a lot of other chapters, this is also the method which is used. I hope that this helped you out a bit.
sisterly,
