Pledge Name

What's your pledge name and what dose it mean? Mine is Buttonz after the dog, Buttons in Animaniacs. Buttons was always there to save a little girl, Mindy when she got herself into trouble (which was pretty often!). My big saw me as someone who was always there to help anyone who needed it!

It's been so long ago I don't remember, but I'm sure it would be considered hazing today.

Scuba Steve

I took SCUBA diving lessons when I was pledging. I announced it once, and all of a sudden, that was my name.

We didn't have pledge names per se, but I was "Fluff Queen" "Fluffy" and "Fluffalot" due to a bad hair experience. I overconditioned it, and it turned into a giant ball of fluff!

In Tau Beta Sigma (national marching band sorority) mine was "m'aidez" (as in MAYDAY) and my jersey number was 911. This was when 911 first came into being so it was pretty cool. I guess I needed a lot of marching help. And I was a French major.

Mine is B-AV...usually prounounced Bee-ahve but sometimes BAV.

Stands for born-again virgin.

Nicknames for my new member group were out of control because there were so many of us - my favorite one was Schlongdragger. One of our sisters was nicknamed Ballswiggle because of her last name, and it got turned into Schlongdragger.

Gilligan because when I was a freshman I used to wear a fisherman's bucket hat and the fact that I am a skinny man wearing that hat made it easy for the members to give me a name

Oh, I could get in trouble for this.

We have both New Member nicknames and sister nicknames. Your class gives you the New Member name and your "mom" gives you your sister name.

Well when I was a frosh I was really big into the WWF, especially DX. So I got the name B.S.I. Raw. B is for the B-Squad which was our class name, everyone had a B. S.I. is for "Suck It" which was DX's saying. And Raw was for what I missed every Monday to go to our meetings.

So then my sister name became "Succit DX." My mom didn't want Suck It spelled out on my jersey, but the DX also had a little calc meaning, which is where I met my mom. And of course my jersey # is 69. I didn't mind. I wore it proudly because Terri didn't really want to give it to me but all the other sisters pushed her to.
