Glad you liked it! One thing in the catalog that I didn't see on the website was fleur de lis thumbtacks! I think every Kappa should have some of those!
These towels come in black or gold fleur de lis: http://www.ballarddesigns.com/images.../FH136-H-C.jpg This is perfect for the combo Kappa/ADPi home (fleur de lis & black diamonds!): http://www.ballarddesigns.com/images.../AM309-H-C.jpg Edited to add: I've been lusting after their one computer arrangement, the one that's more or less files of different types with the workspace on top! |
Fleur de lis thumbtacks? That I must have!!!
*off to order a catalogue* Thanks Honey! |
- When the most expensive piece of jewlery you own is your pin...and you took out a loan to buy it. (But then again, it's for a lifetime, so why not have diamons?)

Alums...
When every friggin famous TKE alumnus shows up on TV or elsewhere and you have to mention TKE and how he is a proud frater in the bond!
I.E. seeing President Reagan, Elvis, Terry Bradshaw, all those Governors on TV, Senators on TV (like Senator Byrd, West Virginia), whenever we see a Starbucks, Hooters, Circuit City, Walgreens, Home Depot, Campbell Soup jar, etc (all by Tekes)... Hell, when you mention TKE when you hear Charlie Brown's voice and others on TV... Or when we see the NFL (founded by a Teke) or the electric guitar... It gets really really bad when you mention that Paris Hilton is a TKE legacy (Grandfather Conrad Hilton - founder of Hilton Hotels - is a TKE)... LOL! It HAS happened! |
-Where you're at a yard sale, and buy the black diamond border for sale there simply "because". (I have no idea what I'm going to do with 90 feet of black diamond border, but I will use it!!)

Your paddle still hangs above your bed several years after you leave college.

TKE is for LIFE... |

As for getting the Coat of Arms tattoed on your ankle... I've seen tatoos on ankles many times... A famous TKE who was a WWF wrestler has the whole coat of arms tatooed on the bottom of his leg - but has it covered with his long boots... hint - he's a really BIG guy... ;) I've seen the 3 triangles on backs - and I have seen branding... Yes, branding... And of course, I have seen another dark symbol of ours tattoed on Tekes... Hint - it can be mistaken for pirate art... LOL... I would get that certain symbol tatooed, but if my parents ever saw it... yikes... |
Many ov My Brothers have the cross and cresent tatooed on places of body.
One of My Chapter Guys has the Coat of Arms on his shoulder. Take a look at LXA Coat of Arms and figure out how long it took and cost! WOW! I do need to get a decal for the window of Rice Rocket, but do have LXA 1 on Car Tags.:) Only one in Kansas!:) |
I know Andrew is proud to be a TKE, because he has sex with himself in the ritual closet because it makes him feel close with TKE

When ever I see someone with letters on, I always introduce myself as A Fellow Greek, tell them My School and ask theirs.
Chat about Greeks and mention GC and all of the great people on it who are Greeks from all over.:) |
You refer to your Little sister as "my Little" even when she's not around and you're talking about her to non-Greeks.
You attempt to teach your 2 year old brothers the Greek alphabet not too long after they learned the English one. :D :D |
My Lil will always be refered to as that and nothing else
Calling your pledge sister by her pledge name in class (along iwth any other sister you ahve in class) Taking a class just to have something with a sister Sitting in McDonalds with a sister after a really bad meeting, both of you close to tears while singing "The Rose" while a frat guy looks at us like we are crazy |
-This was mentioned before--Drawing in the margins instead of taking notes--I'm guilty
-When there is a frat that you do so much for that they wonder if you really are a member -You consider putting your sororities shape as a border around your room which is painted in your sororities colors -Instead of studying for finals, you make posters for the new girls -You NEVER take off your necklace that has the crest on it -Your non-Greek friends make fun of you because you don't have any clothes with out your letters on them -You get on GC at least 3 times a day -You buy stuff, and have tons and tons of boxes of stuff that you have never touched so that you can pass it down |

*You fly across the country with your hubby and make plans to meet a sorority sister for the first time!
* You buy paraphenalia of your own letters, but also for other friends when you see something that you know would mean a lot to them! *You start taking pictures of different sorority houses of your group to add to your scrapbook. *You are proud to say that you are/will be a member of XYZ ( for my AI sisters and brothers out there!) |
-When driving to vacation, you make your friend who is not in a sorority stop in the city where your organization so you can take a picture of the road sign.

*you get geeked when u find out that a famous person is also a member of your org.
*when you find out that someone you don't like (famous or not) is a member of ur org u suddenly find urself liking them |
--When you choose a school partially because they have Greek Life
--When you submit pics of your chapter to everything--student newspapers, random message board threads, university websites--the whole banana, 'cause it's great PR --Being "PR Princess" or a similar title is your weekly goal. --When you decide that after having green as the color of your high school, college, AND sorority, you're pretty much doomed to have green everything. --After pledging, your chapter owns your wardrobe. Even shoes. Even underwear because Mom thinks that's funny. --Those "OMG! HOUSES!" moments at other universities --You spend your birthday wandering local college stores looking for paddle-making/decorating supplies --That nagging urge to have bigger letters than everyone else, haaaaa! (Gotta love that healthy sense of competition between chapters...) --Favorite stuffed animal of all time: Fisher-Price's Puffalumps. Currently trying to find a sorority mascot in Puffalump form. --Singing sorority songs in the shower --Playing pranks with sisters (and/or leaving your letters in the darnedest places, a la "we climbed this...there's a signature wall...let's put KD bigger than everyone else's signage, ha ha!") --You hang signs from old events (example: bright pink "KD <3's the Sterling Fluffy Bunnies!" from Shamrock, LOL) in your dorm room --The first thing you bring up with other high school alum has something to do with Greek-ness |
or when the air conditioning goes out and you live with a sister you lay in bed in your undies singing sorority songs :)

When road tripping, if you happen to pass a university, you immediately say "let's go check out the houses". :)

When Do Ya Want to do a Road Trip!:D Duffus that I was, thinking about working, did not stop at Houses of LXA in Ky., Tn., Neb., Colo., So right, had a great Experience with The Bothers at U Tn.

co sign with the "my sister" thing..I hate predicating with "Sorority" too, because damnit, they'd be my real sisters if I had anything to say about it.

...when you notice that the table's at Chili's have Quatrefoil tiles all over them then you excitidely take of a picture of one with your camera phone while exclaiming to your Sigma Nu boyfriend that the picture will be perfect for your cell phone background.
...when combinations of colors remind you of your GLO and others. ...when your heart smiles at the sight of a lion fountain, stuffed animal, or a cat with an extra fluffy mane Gosh, I love being a Phi Mu *grins* |

-If you wear letters to a wedding, funeral, or other fancy event(a badge even)
-If you have letters on things it doesnt necessarily make sense to have letters on. Ex... -thongs, underwear -sandals -lip gloss/chap stick -pillow cases -nail file -key chains -mouse pad -stuffed animals -beanie babies -candles -water bottles -etc.,etc.,etc. In case you are wondering, everything listed above can be found somewhere with letters on it. |
When you can sit with another Greek and list every NPC, there colors, mascot etc. and what house you would be in if you choose only by colors, by badge, etc. because you have nothing better to do while coming back from Something Greek.

When you are at an aquarium and in the aviary section, you see an owl and freak out and take tons of pictures of the bird and you next to the bird while your other friends look at you strangely.

proud greek moment
When you are low on money but still send the monthly check to hq!
You join the closest alumnae chapter, even though it's in the next state! |
When you put your frat brothers above your wife and family and hang out with them at the frat house on a your designated "family day," only to come home and find your "stuff" on the porch and your wife giving you an ultimatim: if you love your fraternity brothers so much, you need to go live with them.
Or you when you make your house into a de facto fraternity house and your wife gets fed up and you get your "walking papers." These are two real cases from brothers I have known. "Que Psi Phi 'til the day I die!" |
