Hoping she meant Sigma Kappa, otherwise, wow.

I'm not the "meanie alumna who corrects our terminology" by any means, but that is the one term that I will correct if a VP is using it on one of our calls, and I will be the "meanie alumna who ruins our fun plans" if your bid day shirt ideas involve shirts saying "baby violet." No, I don't care if every other chapter on your campus uses some variation of "baby _____."

We've always done it and it's never bothered me. I didn't mind being a Baby Squirrel at 18...thought it was kinda cute.

I spent four years in college fighting the use of "girls" rather than "women" - I lost that battle.

The "baby dove" thing makes me a little squeamish, just because... have you ever seen a recently hatched bird? Not super cute.

Ditto. Plus as having a sister-mother implies that you're a child. In my chapter it only lasts up to initiation anyways and no one obsessively brings it up.

I've noticed a lot of AGD chapters say "sister-mom" and "sister-daughter" instead of big and little. Is that unique to AGD?

While a number of chapters do use the terms Big/Little Sister, all of our new member education materials specifically say "Sister-mother" and "Sister-daughter," so those terms are the official ones used, and they do trace back to our founders. I actually looked through archive materials at IHQ and found the term "sister-mother" in things from 1904.

It's been an ongoing battle for years to get people to use the right terms, but I think the powers that be have finally decided to quit sweating the small stuff. Volunteers are expected to use correct terminology, but we aren't to get in a hissy if it's not used.

Why/since when are Alpha Phi pledges called angels? I've only heard of Pi Phi pledges being called baby angels, because ya know, one of their actual symbols is an angel. If anything, our pledges have been called baby Phis.

I couldn't help but imagine the voice of Stewie Griffin when I read this one.

Boy: I walked out of the math building today to a hundred sorority girls clapping and cheering for no apparent reason, so I decided they were cheering for me finishing my calc test. I raped it by the way.
Boy: ooops. I mean the test, not the sorority girls.



hahahahaha. I love the status search capability.

[LucyKKG]

Here's a cute one:
"Recruitment finally done.......really happy with the new guys we have.........I can honestly say that i've done the best I can to make Sigma Nu what it is and what it will be. I love my fraternity and I love my brothers. Thanks for all the support. Now its time to have some fun. "

I LOVE THIS.
I never even knew this was possible until this post

[VandalSquirrel]

I used your status tip and no lie, I found something I could trace back to GC. I'm getting all Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher up in this piece, but it relates back to an alleged troll, and one of Senusret I's favorite things, a race war.

Someone else is helping that thread rise again.

I searched Alpha Gamma Delta just out of curiosity, and found "alpha gamma delta or alpha omicron pi?", complete with comments on which org to join. While it isn't too radical, it still blows my mind that someone would even put that out there. You never know who will see it
