"they look deep into my soul, and assign me a number based on the order in which i joined." - homer simpson

"its all about scroll." - me, mu-theta scroll #485

up until 3 years ago, we used to have our scroll # engraved on the back of our badge, but no longer.

officially in my chapter, scroll is only used for seating in house meetings and room selection. but god knows, its been used for some of the strangest things i've ever seen. overruling shotgun has to be the most common. i usually retort with "pummel", in that case if i can beat up the person w/ higher scroll then they usually back down.

Oh, yes, single and double digit Numbers are important for many reasons:

1. is being a member when you have 4-5-600 or 1000+!

2. Somethign that the New Memembers can look up to

3. Shows the longivity when those members come gack for functions

4. Functions that they come back to besides Homecoming and Founders Day!

When I and many of the Brothers go back for not only H C, F D, but Mentoring Meetings, this shows solodarity and the Life Long Commitment that LXA has in our Fraternity!

Here there are different rules on badge at our Chapter.

1. Commander(president) has Badge over everyone.
2. Calling Badge on a Pledge Brother is allowed But is an insult to that person and is Taboo.
3. When we are in a place where we eat in line badge is the order we go in.
4. Badge is earned on a points system.
5. No calling Badge on property owned by that person.
6. It is tradition to have a drink with the Person 100 Badges above and below you.

We call badge on pledge brothers just to mess around. Usually answered with an explitive. Haha. The funny parts are when people with a lower badge number call it on you, then everyone just stares at them.

We call these numbers scroll. We are initiated alphabetically so you can not use it to other people in your pledge class. We don't really use it alot in our chapter, more of a joke than anything, or small stuff, like calling shotgun.

We have pin numbers on the back of our badges. If you have a lower pin number than someone, you can call pin on them. Some chapters call pin on almost everything, but mine only does small, funny stuff. And you can't call pin on your pledge brothers.
