I can't believe you two!! :p well since you two already told you won't mind me telling how we wrap our new members up like mummys at initiation. and the mummy wrap has to me nice and tight so we can make sure they passed the circling of fat test.

and of course no pictures! if people saw the mummy wrap, the John doll, and the walk like an egyptian dance, everyone would want to convert to our ritual!

well hell, we make it easy, we just go through ritual in our birthday suits -- that way we all match! after the fat circling though... nice to know other chapters hold up that tradition as well. thats something that should never be lost. ever. even though the pink catsuits would be fun..... ;)



nah, to my knowledge we order everything through HQ.

and we dont allow cameras until after EVERYTHING is put away... if there is so much as an open box (we keep all our stuff in jumbo tupperware containers with the sides and bottoms covered with cloth) cameras cannot be out. one of our newly initated sisters did that last spring and i thought our president was gonna kill her.

When I was an active, we had patterns for the catsuits and could have them made, but remember this is close to 20 years ago ( :eek: ) and it might be different now. LOL, I'm thinking of a big building with no windows in Oxford, Ohio where people work around the clock turning out pink castuits!


Sigma Kappas: Do you ever have problems during your Initiation with the snake trying to eat the dove? It just seems like a logistical nightmare!

I think I found a picture of your initiation outfit. http://www.delicateillusions.com/prod/L3018L.jpg

Last time we ordered them though, they we're quite the right shade of turquoise. Do you think they changed suppliers?

The goats are for the ritual?! Damn, here in Texas we serve cabrito for the White Violet banquet. Very tasty. I guess bunny stew for the first course is a bad thing, too?

Pillow Fights
 

Now I know that several NPC groups have a ritualistic pillow fight involved in initiation. Its time to 'fess up.

Re: Pillow Fights
 

Shhhh...!

Where else do you think we get the feathers?! But we do have to order the pillows from our EO.

Re: Pillow Fights
 

I knew it was only a matter of time before that got out in public. darn... ;)

Re: Pillow Fights
 

ok, so that secret is out...

as long as no one reveals about our ritual wear while having the pillow fights, i think we're okay...

Ok so no one better mention how we all have to wear matching white bra and panty sets...

you don't have to answer if this is a secret, but what happens if two chapters are having initiation at the same time? do you have to schedule the intitiations well in advance to ensure that posiden will not be double booked? does he have his own tour bus? forgive me, but i am just really interested.

I know I'm not a Delta Delta Delta, but when we can't borrow our goat from one of the other chapters, SigEp is kind enough to let us use theirs. ;)

Shhh....I'm not supposed to reveal this....but.....

Posiden travels, via the ocean on his trusty dolphin friend, to those of us lucky enough to live on the coast, so travel is easy for him. I do believe those unfortunate chapters have to book him very far in advance. Three years, I believe.

He does have a 'Tour Tank' to visit those chapters inland. On magical nights, when the cresant moon is out, you might be able to catch a glimise of him.

Now remember....shhhh..

Re: Re: Pillow Fights
 

:eek: our secret is out!!! :o


hehehe :p

at least they don't know the secret pillows match our catsuits. :p

Is this anything like the PopeMobile?

Dolphin Chica,
You crack me up!!

But, honestly, I can't believe you told about the Posiden-mobile, now how will he travel to our poor chapters in the middle of Iowa without people clamering to get a look of our ancient greek god? I think I might have to email Executive Office about you telling our secrets.

Russell, I let you in on a secret... the "Tour Tank" is camouflaged as a very large Mercedes Benz SUV with a Delta Delta Delta sticker on the back and a license plate cover that states "Daddy bought it but I got it" so it can stay inconspicuous in front of a sorority house. You would be amazed how easily Posiden can travel from chapter to chapter like this, no one ever suspects...

The TriDelta TourTank
 

Is this the same Mercedes with the fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror, over a bobbing plastic statue of the Virgin Mary?

Does the bumper sticker say I http://flamevault.com/forums/images/smilies/love.gif DDD?

I think that I've seen it.

I think my APO chapter has had our football tackling dummies and flaming basketball hoop (we are in Indiana, after all!) for a while. I think you can order them from nationals, though.

Can't forget our (top secret!) wet t-shirt contest, where the girl who places last is ritually sacrified and fed to the goat. We have to order the daggers and t-shirts from headquarters, though. :)

Is the contest a wet t-shirt pollow fight? Or is it more along the lines of a wet t-shirt circling of the fat contest?

OMG!!! I can't believe you told! :eek: I like the old dove costume though. The new style is not realistic enough for my taste.

Back in my day, we had to stop wearing the pink catsuits. The polyester was flammable and everytime we went near a DZ lamp one of our initiates would go up in flames! We got stuck wearing large turtle shells. Not pretty....

Was this it??

dolphinchica- thanks for the reply. i have really been kept up wondering how posiden does it! on my campus, it was hard enough booking the chapel 6 weeks in advance....i couldn't imagine booking posiden up to 3 years in advance!


maybe we can make this thread into our own website....sororitysecretsreveled.com or something.

does anyone else have jello wrestling after their pillow fights or is that just us?

What sorority doesn't? Or so I've been told. The real question should be, "what is the ritualistic flavor of the jello used for the wrestling after the pillow fights?"

Rumor has it that the Kappa's use blueberry.

With or without fruitcocktail mixed in?

SHHH......ZTA's use strawberry...I'm sure you'll all keep the secret!

We wear a Mardi Gras mask, since one of our founder's was from New Orleans, and red underwear with Panda Bears on the but, and Mardi Gras beads with roses on them. That's all. We also take pictures and post them on our web page for purchase of only $19.99 per party pics package. That money goes to buy the beer we drink after initiation is over. LOL.


Seriously, we order it all through HQ. I have no clue where they get it from. Probably some nun in Switzerland.

Nuns who have taken a vow of silence, of course!

Oh yes DGMarie, I forgot about that one! Good one!

(btw, I love the DGs at Ole Miss, great Chapter, Alpha Psi I believe is their chapter name)

Well of course! We were founded in Oxford, Mississippi! You have this tattooed on your left thigh at initiation.

oh lord, did I actually WRITE THAT?

It's going to be real funny when some GDI finds this post and "reveals" all of our secrets! :) :p

.

In 1873 at the Lewis School for Women in Oxford, MS on a cold December 12 night. When I power walk I pass by the Historial Marker all of the time. I love to read it. I love the history of Delta Gamma and of course all GLO's and my own, AOII!

However, the Ole Miss chapter was not founded until later on because sororities were closed down in the early 1920s. I think they came back in either 1927 or 1937, I forget. Or I might be totally wrong :)

.

Maybe it's a Macon thing!

(It's all about the marshmallows!!)

There are chapters who had some major problems with this, but we just tell them to make sure you sacrifice the dove BEFORE the snake has a chance to get at it. The best way to do this is to make sure the snake is well fed before hand. Some have suggested adding a snake feeding into the ritual but I'm not so sure nationals is all for that.

We definitely do not use blueberry flavored jell-o and we definitely do not mix in blue food coloring into the whipped topping for the whip cream pillow fight (but don't get it on anything white, because it's a b*tch to get cleaned--the dry cleaners HATE the week after initiation.) Really, that's the true story behind the blue and blue of Kappa.

(But that's all after the supersecret disco dancing ritual--it was a huge RM issue with those blue and blue platforms!)

Did you use chicken or goat blood? I found that goat blood has a better consistency for drawing pentagrams, but chicken blood is a lot less messy!
