LMAO.

I agree with DSTCHAOS. Z-Chi's aren't allowed to have most of the things on this thread either. I think it's about being responsible and wearing what you are allowed to and also recognizing that tacky is tacky, lol. some things are just tacky.

:rolleyes: Weed induced rants. If you honor your org's 'nalia protocol, what is the point of your rant? Obviously, none of us think this stuff is the most important thing in the world. That goes without saying.

Make sure you "just say no" while you're aiding the downtrodden.

Does Zeta Chi produce a list of the banned items?

-Rudey

Zeta Sigma Chi doesn't have a list persay of what you can't have. It's more of a protocol of what is appropriate, which seems similar to some of the NPHC organizations.

I always wondered if other groups did have rules on what was appropriate or what was not appropriate because of what I've seen online. Does NPC/IFC have any rules at all on appropriate peri?

Delta has both written and unwritten protocol. Of course, the written protocol is more universally (and more easily) enforced.

I feel you. I tend to zone out sometimes. I figured I would just say what was on my mind at the moment instead of sobering up and preparing something totally perfect. It's probably what I would have said had we all been in the same room hanging out. :cool:

Uh...congratulations???

:cool:

Thanks. I don't know what for, but I'll take it. Rotfl!!! Posting stuff is fun. :cool:

I'm going to go back to the orignal post. I don't really think lettered thongs are appropriate. But I do think they make great gag gifts for sisters who are getting married, etc. I have more of a problem with shirts that have dirty or degrading phrases, or even put down other groups.

I totally agree..... also someone mentioned this earlier and its so vital. Many GLO's have their letters and all insignia for their group trademarked. Sigma kappa, I know, we have licensed vendors. Basically groups that we approve of making items. If chapters/member use an unlicensed vendor and our NHQ knows we send out something to the chapter highly encouraging them to use a licensed vendor and if they havea great local place get them hooked up to be licensed.... so if these places are making "innappropriate" items or phrases we can better monitor them and educate our women on good panhellenic spirit and proper attire

I know that the fraternities on our campus tend to have some pretty dirty shirts at times. I wish that they had to get shirt slogans approved by someone because I'm sure a lot of them wouldn't fly if they had to do that. Also, if we're not supposed to drink in letters than I think the greek shops should stop carrying shot glasses, flasks, and other drinking accessories.

speaking of inappropriate shirts, I found this one for sale on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

I think its pretty disgusting myself. A party shirt from Hosta U. it looks like.

Here's something else. Someone is actually selling someone's initiation certificate from Pikes.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...700207714&rd=1

Paddles, composites, and especially initiation certificates should definitely not be sold on ebay.

Contraception Party!?!
For some reason I don't think that would fly at my school :)
I wonder what they passed out as favors LOL

Absolute worst shirt I ever saw belongs to the chapter of a GC member.

XYZ brotherhood...tighter than your little sister

It had a little girl with a teddy bear on it. Disgusting.

Gross...
I saw a shirt that said, "XYZ--We May not go down in history, but we will go down on your sister" Then it had all the sorority letters at the bottom.

LOL!!!
 

I'm sorry, as dirty and classless as it is, that was hilarious...

With that said, it's absolutely WRONG...

I'm not gonna lie - i've seen shirts with (* connotates a Greek Letter):

(The John Deere Logo - Reindeer)
* * * - Pullin Hoes since 18!!'

(An image of a gas pump)
SAVE GAS - RIDE A * * *...

(The name of the theme party) - You couldn't come, but your girlfriend did twice...

(Pictures of building tools)
* * * - Screw, Nut, Bolt...

I don't think any of those are as bad as the two that you guys posted!!!

You know, until I started reading this thread, I had never HEARD of Zeta Sigma Chi. How are you gonna get all upset because someone called you a Zeta Chi, when you used the term Z-Chi? Sounds like the same thing to me....

This is pretty much the same for Theta Nu Xi.

Nobody got upset, I just corrected. I didn't call anyone out, get loud, or post any thing rowdy. I know that a lot of people haven't heard of my sorority, which is why I just posted it correctly. I assume most people on here would do the same to make sure their letters are correctly represented, especially people in organizations that are newer and that aren't as national as some of the NPC or NPHC organizations.

In this day and age where there are several organizations that are close in name and people may have similar nicknames, it is only fair out of greek unity and respect for other greeks that you respect their name and nicknames that different organizations take on. There is a fraternity called Zeta Chi that is definately different than my sorority.

I'm sorry if you don't like the fact that I corrected the name of my organization, but that's something you're going to see if someone posts it incorrectly, period. It's not out of malice or attitude, it's out of love of my organization. You are the only person who seems to be upset about the post, not me. If you wouldn't do the same for your organization, that's your problem, not mine.

I didn't say i didn't like the fact that you were correcting it - I dont blame you. BUT, as you said, there ARE lots of groups out there with almost similar nicknames, and you gotta do what you gotta do to make sure people know the difference. Alpha Xi Delta's call themselves A Xi D's (Prounounced A Z D) and sometimes people think that means Alpha Zeta Deltas - which we're not.

I guess I dont understand the whole concept behind nicknames that DONT give reference to all letters...you said Z-Chi (which didnt refer to Sigma anything) and what's another one that stand out? Pi Phis? Phi Pi's? When I think its gotta Beta somewhere in the middle? Someone help me out here, i cant remember the name of that organization we don't have them at my campus and I'm not sure if there is a chapter somewhere close or not.

I see where you're getting at, amanda. Maybe they are allowed to call themselves Z-Chis, but non-members are to refer to the full name.

There are several three letter GLOs that go by two, and sometimes only one letter! Pi Phi, Alpha Chi, Zeta...those are the only one at the tip of my tongue right now.

Gamma Phi, Kappa, Sigma...the NPHC Alphas, Deltas, Sigmas, Ques, etc.

Beta, Theta, Tau (sometimes used by Alpha Tau Omega), Lambda Chi, Phi Psi, Phi Tau . . . .

Plus the ones that use shortened forms of one or two letters: Delts, Alpha Gam, Delta Sig, Pi Kapp, Sig Ep, Phi Delt, Phi Kapp, Phi Lamb, Phi Sig . . . .

You don't have to explain yourself, rocketgirl. Nonmembers don't HAVE to understand everything...I promise.

A chapter at my school got suspended for a shirt. I believe it said:
"Pulling hoes since [insert founding date of the fraternity]". I think they made these shirts for recruitment week.

So you leave it up to interpretation?

On another note, I don't understand how you want to be different from the NPHC but borrow certain things like the protocol of what is appropriate. But then again, if it's working for you and you're growing then more power to you. Rock on.

-Rudey

For the record (to those of you who read to comprehend):

Rocketgirl never said her organization borrowed its paraphernalia protocol from the NPHC. She said it SEEMS similar.

Thank You DSTCHAOS, you beat me to the punch!

LOL I feel you on that. I don't think I should have to explain my orgs nicknames vs. full name. Anyway I'm done with the matter. I said my piece and now I'm back to the original topic:)

Amen Amen Amen!

i've had the shield on the back of the jacket debate before, and personally, I do not like it. I've had the shield over heart vs. letters debate before (ie should letters go on the left or right when you also have a shield). Someone pointed out that our letters came before our shield, BUT our shield as our letters in it, sooo...only because our shield has our letters on it, we can wear it either way (left or right).

my org has very specific protocols for how our letters can be displayed, where they can be displayed, and the same goes for our shield and other symbols. Also, anything that is sold as a fundraiser with our letters or symbol on it (like a t-shirt) MUST be approved by our nat board.

*bump* because I just spotted a pic on facebook of one of my chapter sisters wearing butt letters...:eek:

I saw a girl jogging the other day in shorts that said "Theta" across the back. Then another girl in Juicy Couture-type sweatpants that had I believe Z Phi B on the butt.

This needs to end.

p.s. Peri is the girl who played Roz on Frasier and I don't know why she is in this discussion.

..ahem...no pun intended????:confused::p;)

I hate letters on the butt and I hate letters on shoes. Boo that.

to go about the tissues

i don't have a problem with it personally because my roomie has one of those ceramic tissue box covers and she painted it in pink & white and has phi mu painted on in black with some lady bugs on it as well as sir fidele.

I've seen flip flops with reversed letter cut outs in the soles. When worn on the beach they leave imprints in the sand. I admit I thought that was cute.

I'm sure others have nicer feet than me, but I don't feel like my letters and my feet go together. You just shouldn't walk on your letters, IMO ... To each her own, tho'. OPhiA's Rose Shop just introduced letter flip flops and they're selling like hotcakes.
