We have a Scuba Steve also at GW

My pledge name was Tinkie Winkie http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/...smiley-028.gif

Optimist Prime 07-24-2003 03:44 PM

Flounder. Its not really just a pledge name though. People called me that before I pledged (not my brothers) then my brothers started calling me that, and now everyone calls me that almost.

ksig600 07-24-2003 04:13 PM

My pledge name ranged from Master "P" to Notorious (which I hated), now my chapter name is Diddy or just "P"

And, there are guys on campus who I don't know by their real name, but only by nicknames. My nickname is Amazon, b/c one of my good friends is really short and I call her Short Stuff, so she started calling me Amazon and it just stuck.

We have an Amazon also! :) but no Sucba Steves :(

pledge name
 
ok well my pledge class name (my pledge sisters give this to me ) is chuck... because at a mixer while i was pledging-i got really drunk (at my own accord!) and threw up on my pledge sister..... still haven't lived that down... and my mom (same as big sister) gave me my title which has one name and then a whole big long list of quotes and whatever else they want to put on there- and we're supposed to memorize it- (most don't) a lot of times the titles have family line quotes that everyone gets etc- but my name int htat was ghetto quaker (i can't spell- but the noise that duck makes! lol) b/c everyone thinks i am ghetto b/c when i get mad my ny accent comes out and i love ducks.... so there you go...

pledge name
 
GoBot. (or Gizmo)

I really don't like my pledge name at all. I thought that you were supposed to earn your pledge names by f'ing up during the time you're pledging? One of the Brothers at the time just looked at me one day and said "You're an engineering major... you'll be GoBot..."

It was very dissappointing. :(

But some better ones from my Chapter:

Nips (given because he has no nipples... shaved them off by accident when he was in high school)

Piglet (this kid Jay had this unhealthy obsession w/ Disney, and he tended to be very timid and shy during pledging... like Piglet)

Wet-Wac (my favorite! one of our Brothers Mark was very drunk one night, of his own accord mind you!, and spilled his jungle juice onto our frat house floor. he then proceed to stand up and shout "clean up in aisle 6... I got it!" and dropped to his knees and begin licking the juice off of our soaked-in-God-knows-what rug)

Strawberry Gumdrop (this guy Jim was such a tough guy, ROTC, pretty built, really manly type dude, so I purposely gave him his name as one of the girliest names any of us could think of)

MacGruff (once at a mixer, the sorority chicks were trying to leak fraternity secrets out of this one guy, he drunkenly responded with: "I'm not supposed to talk to strangers." and blew her off.)

That's some highlights... but there are so may more (most of which I can't really explain here...). Anybody else out there have any good ones?

Opie25 07-25-2003 01:08 PM

My fraternity nickname given to me as an undergrad is O.p.i.e.

I guess my brothers thought I was some small town innocent kind, and realized that wasn't entirely the case...and hence the name o.p.i.e.

I later added the periods and made my own little meaning:

Other
Phi's
Imitate
Excellence

tried to throw a positive spin on things

One of my best buds has that same pledge name!!!:D Except he got it because both of his parents are cops, yet he enjoys illegal affairs! lol!!

Anyway, my name is "A.D.D" as, in Attention Deficit Disorder. My girls and I were out one night at our fav place to eat and were talking soro buisness. Well, I have a HUGE bad habit of changing subjects w/o finishing to previous topic. :o They had to "get me back on track" almost every 2 minutes!!

TKE209's name was "Silent Bob"...oye...

AXPGoBot 07-27-2003 02:30 PM

One of my pledge brothers' names was Silent Bob!

His name's Rob, but during pledging he hardly talked at all, cuz the other 5 of us in my class all sorta new each other, I guess he kinda felt outta place. But now he's one of my favorites!

Just thought I'd share.

amyleigh 07-31-2003 06:42 PM

My nickname is Hotpants. Reason- a certain outfit I went clubbing in and then being upset some strange guy wanted to "pet" me. Ick.

My chapter started giving Alumnae Names as well, since some sisters complained that names they received early on didn't really "define" them well, so their Alumnae name usually related to their nickname, but were more descriptive/positive.

One of the posts talked about not knowing "real" names of people in other houses, only pledge names. How true. How am I supposed to know that "Teddy" isn't a real name? Worse, when the pledge name is "not-so-nice" and you don't want to say it, but you have no idea his real name- :confused:

phi sig girly 07-31-2003 06:48 PM

mines kinda stupid...at the time, and still kinda to this day, i was really obsessed with the smashing pumpkins, so they named me...*drumroll*...'smashing pumpkin' ... creative huh?

mosT 12-29-2009 08:51 PM

They called me mosT...I has a strong feeling to it. Also I was the only pledge the make it thru. So when people asked me I why they called me that I usually say. "mosT Perfect". The sororities called me mosty which I find cute.

pshsx1 12-29-2009 09:47 PM

Holy old thread...

Most everyone in my chapter just randomly earns a nickname. Mine are "Texas" (or The Texas Kid) and "Token 2."

XAntoftheSkyX 12-29-2009 10:00 PM

My nickname is McLovin, I'm sure you all can guess why.

Gusteau 12-29-2009 10:11 PM

^^^Haha

I had a few nicknames, none that really stuck. Gusteau is the only one that's used - and never in real life, only on GC. It came from the chef in Ratatouille.

Sphinxy 12-30-2009 09:26 PM

my sorority doesn't do nicknames for the most part- a few have stuck but not many.

but I have a nickname from the fraternity I'm a sweetheart for- Agent 99 because i'm so super stealthy.

Francisx3 01-07-2010 02:04 AM

The seniors last year gave me the name Fundadora Francis because I'm Hispanic and have the same name as one of Zeta's founders (fundadoras).

Psi U MC Vito 01-07-2010 12:14 PM

In case you can't tell, my nickname was MC Vito. And no, I'm not Italian.

pshsx1 01-07-2010 06:30 PM

lol it's okay, though... Number 1 is expelled until Summer, number 3 is my Little, and we have a number 4... So I'm the current head of Team Delta Force Midnight (long story).

pres_ciha 01-08-2010 03:55 PM

I had a slew of nicknames, the only one that stuck was Aar Bear Square(like in math), Aar Bear, or Bear. My big brother and I had the same first name, so in order to keep us apart, verbally, this was more so in a conversation, Aar Bear Square came into existance. But on my bid nite I was named Harry, because my real big brother was nicknamed Potter.

DUKyleXY 01-08-2010 06:38 PM

In my chapter, we didn't get actual pledge names, but most of us had nicknames, I didn't even know one of the older guys real first name for the first semester I knew him...lol.

My nickname is XY after Kyle XY and all of the variations...I was the third Kyle in my chapter, so they had the nickname decided before I moved in freshman year!

Others are: Brink (Another Kyle who had brought roller blades), Veugs (the third Kyle, they just shortened his last name), Weasel or Winston or Juice (My Pledge Dad's nicknames, all for various reasons), Ahab (One of the brothers who liked larger women!), Chunky (Skinny guy who had been bigger as a child), Skinny (A guy who had bulked up, not chunky though)

They are all just fun things, most of them are considered badges of honor!

XY

rufio 01-10-2010 03:06 AM

when i pledged i had a red streak in my hair and apparently i look like the character from the movie hook. Hence, Rufio.

my other favorite nickname is Wizard. One of the guys got antiqued so his hair looked grey. that same night another brother asked wizard to run block for him while he went to the bathroom. everytime some came wandering in that direction he took a stand and screamed "you shall not pass" like gandolf in LOTR. and thus Wizard was born.

Preston327 01-24-2010 12:26 AM

I somehow got the pledge name of Cheese Nips. I'll go to my grave wondering about that one, but apparently the Pledge Educator has an odd sense of humor.

Still, it could've been worse. One of my pledge brothers is "Team Jacob."

Senusret I 01-24-2010 01:20 AM

Preston,

Get off GC and enjoy your pledge period. GC doesn't need to know your experience in real time.

Preston327 01-24-2010 01:24 AM

EDIT: Point taken, I'll scale back on the updates.

And do you know why Pinto in "Animal House" was named "Pinto"?
