Line Names: What's in a name?

[chAKAlate]

When I pledged, we were given a swahili line name and I was given a swahili line name.

Actually our line names were sounded kind of funny.

Mine was Mamlaka: which meant authority
My sands was Waka: which meant to think

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?
